Ford CEO Jim Farley told Reuters the automaker will move production of some Lincoln models from China to the United States starting in 2030, citing the Trump administration's tariffs, which impose a 52.5% duty on the Lincoln Nautilus, the main vehicle Ford imports from China.

Farley said Ford made the decision as soon as the administration's tariff policy was set, calling the move difficult but necessary to strengthen domestic manufacturing. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who joined the interview, said domestic manufacturing now has an edge.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Framing a tariff-driven relocation as a strategic choice for American manufacturing is the kind of spin that works fine until someone points out the vehicle was profitable to import from China until the government made it not be. Ford gets to look patriotic while simply doing the math.
