🚨BREAKING: Ford CEO SHOCKS markets - backs Trump's tariffs & drops MASSIVE news about "employee pricing"
Let me break this down for you...🧵
2/ Ford CEO Jim Farley just went on Fox Business. He's ALL IN on Trump's tariff policies. Says Ford is "perfectly positioned" to WIN BIG in this new era.
"We think [Trump's policies are] really great for the country. We support the president's initiative."
3/ 🔥 IT GETS BETTER: Ford extending "employee pricing" to EVERYONE at least until July 4, to encourage sales to potentially nervous consumers due to new tariffs on auto imports.
4/ DETAILS:
- Employee pricing on ALL 2024/2025 models
- Includes gas, hybrid, plug-in & diesel
- Both Ford AND Lincoln vehicles
5/ MEANWHILE: Trump just signed new executive orders on auto tariffs:
- 25% tariffs on parts starting May 3rd
- BUT... U.S. assembled vehicles get special credits 🎯
Our trade partners better get serious about those zero-zero tariff deals FAST.
6/ And Trump's been clear: BUILD IN AMERICA = PAY LESS TARIFFS 🇺🇸 That's even for foreign car makers.
Meanwhile, GM is already moving - ramping up truck production in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
MORE AMERICAN JOBS incoming!
7/ Treasury Sec Bessent confirms: "Trump's been meeting with auto makers. Goal? Bring production BACK to America."
It should never have left. Politicians in both parties shouldn't have INCENTIVIZED it to leave.
8/ BOTTOM LINE: While the media focuses on "tariff fears," American auto manufacturing is about to have its BIGGEST comeback in decades.
Trump's making it happen...AND is forcing our "partners" to negotiate for REAL free trade.
Win-win.
