The CEO of Ford Motor is just asking for the regime to dump on him like a ton of bricks.

Trump administration expresses ‘profound concern’ over Ford’s ties to China

In a letter addressed to Ford CEO Jim Farley, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy questioned the automaker’s strategic trajectory with Chinese companies “as it pertains to American national automotive manufacturing integrity, supply chain exposure, and reliance on technologies of foreign adversaries.”

Ford, which regularly touts its position as the top-producing automaker in the U.S., called the letter a “wrongheaded attempt to capture headlines.”

“While DOT recognizes the intense competitive pressures of the global market, the Company’s recent strategic decisions paint a troubling picture of a foundational American brand actively intertwining its future with Chinese state-backed enterprises,” Duffy’s letter read.

“Ford supports the Trump administration’s vision for advancing American innovation and manufacturing,” the company said. “Had Secretary Duffy reached out before issuing his letter to the press, we would have been happy to share more details about Ford’s U.S. commitment.”

As noted before, I worked for asshats like Trump. You DO NOT talk to Trump like that. Trump has the biggest canoe on the lake, and can shut Ford down, out of spite.
