Ummm...the following quote is laughable..."However, he stressed Ford did not do any sort of special deal with Trump. "We didn't cut a deal with Trump. We did it for our business."
They didn't do any sort of special deal...no...perhaps not...They did however...do the math...on the 35% tax per item shipped back to the US from their outsourcing penchant...

Serious question. Has Trump already detailed that there will be a 35% tariff on goods manufactured in Mexico?

That has to be passed in legislation before congress before it becomes law. Trump did say it would help prevent countries from moving and bring others home.
Good luck getting the corporate lobbies to allow that.

You guys, we are winning so much I'm growing tired of winning!
/sarcasm
We are not progressives or liberals…
We do not apologize for splitting the atom and landing on the moon…
We are the greatest civilization in the history of the high West...
We will win in perpetuity so long as liberals don't undermine our ability to do so...
We are used to winning and are glad to be doing so again and will never tire of it…
Sorry liberals, there are trophies for winners and countries whose sensibilities reside squarely in the Stone Age are losers while those who walked on the moon are winners…

Breaking? This was the week AFTER the election...one of the 1st announcements. Youre quite late on this....
Here is a Nov 30th link...but are others 3 weeks earlier....search and find
www.foxbusiness.com...
Ford Motor announced Tuesdaythat it would cancel plans for a $1.6 billion Mexico plant and launch a Michigan expansion in a move that may be viewed as a capitulation to Donald Trump.

Disagree on the "new jobs" as Ford will open up 700 jobs on its payroll as opposed to being on the various temp agencies or contracting firms they are using.
However you want to split the hairs...

What did Ford get?
What will be the long term percussions?
Details required.

Huh, it would seem that the right environment DOES stimulate jobs, with economy hot on its heels. Who woulda thunk?
All you had to do is live through the 80s and the 90s to know this would work. This is a great start for Trump
