Ford Replied To America's Tariffs By Leaving America, Leaving Trump in DUST!

21st April 2025

In March 2025, Donald Trump signed a trade action that could reshape - or dismantle – America's most iconic industry. The move was framed as a way to bring back jobs and reclaim manufacturing. But beneath the surface, it triggered something else entirely.

This is the story of what’s really happening. Not the headlines. Not the spin. The version CEOs whisper behind closed doors, but won’t say out loud. On the surface, it’s about tariffs: – A 25% tax on imported vehicles and parts from Mexico and Canada – A 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, including electric vehicle batteries and components.

But behind those numbers is a slow, strategic unravelling of the supply chains that power American manufacturing. And Ford is directly in the blast zone. You’ll learn how: – Nearly 60% of parts in U.S.-built Ford vehicles come from outside the U.S. – That a Ford F-150 depends on Canadian steel and aluminum – That transmissions for American SUVs are made in Mexico and cross the border multiple times before assembly – And how even Tesla isn't immune — there is no such thing as a fully American car This isn’t just trade policy.

It’s economic surgery with a chainsaw. In this video, we break down: – Why Ford is warning of billions in losses – How these tariffs could add $2,000 to $5,000 to the cost of every new car – How layoffs are already happening — quietly, town by town – And how China, Germany, and South Korea are preparing to seize the global EV market while America stalls itself
