Here's what I find interest in. Ford said before it costs 40% less to make the car in Mexico. After you read the quote below you can only conclude that under DT they are under the impression that making the car in the U.S. will be an even better deal than saving 40% in Mexico:

"Fields also pointed out that the company could do well with a more positive U.S. manufacturing business environment under Trump. "We see the pro-growth policies that he's proposing. So, this is a vote of confidence in what we think the president-elect is going to pursue and it's right for our business," he said."
