Trump was discussing his policies on trade and listing companies that he said were moving jobs overseas. Then, however, Trump said wrongly that Ford is moving jobs to Mexico. “Their small car division — thousands of jobs, leaving Michigan, leaving Ohio.”After an agreement with the United Auto Workers, Ford has pledged that the shift will not affect workers in the United States. Those workers will keep their jobs, producing larger vehicles instead of the small cars they are building today. The cost of labor is indeed greater in the United States, which makes producing labor-intensive small cars in Mexico more profitable.
