Ford CEO Says Trump Policy Uncertainty Creating Chaos (Connecting the Dot: The Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Smithsonian Institution, Obamacare & Soros Funding, All Networking)

The
Trump administration's tariff threats and animosity towards electronic vehicles
are producing a "lot of cost and a lot of chaos" for Ford, the automaker's
chief executive said Tuesday.
While
Trump has spoken about the priority of strengthening manufacturing in the
United States, the administration thus far has been the source of tremendous
"policy uncertainty" with constantly evolving tariff plans and a lack
of clarity whether tax credits favoring EVs will be rolled back, he said.
Appearing
at a financial conference, Jim Farley described Trump's initial plan to enact
25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada as a disaster for US companies that
operate across the region, while providing an unfair advantage to European and
Asian automakers that also import to the United States.
Trump
last week suspended the tariffs for 30 days following concessions from Mexico
and Canada. But they have not been removed as a possibility by the Trump
administration, which yesterday announced plans to enact 25 percent tariffs on
steel and aluminum.
Farley
said Ford buys most of those two metals from US firms, but that the company's
suppliers have international sources.
"So
that price will come through, and there may be a speculative part of the market
where prices come up because tariffs are even rumored," Farley said.
"President
Trump has talked a lot about making our US auto industry stronger, bringing
more production here, more innovation," Farley said, adding that these
would be "signature accomplishments."
But
"so far what we're seeing is a lot of cost and a lot of chaos," he
said.
Farley
pointed to lingering questions about the Trump administration's intentions on
the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act, which included tax
incentives for consumer EV purchases and for the building of EV factories.
An
executive order on Trump's first day signaled the potential elimination of tax
credits favoring EVs.
Farley
said Ford had already "sunk capital" in major investments in Ohio,
Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee.
"Many
of those jobs will be at risk if the IRA is repealed or if big parts of it is
repealed," Farley said.
