Ford Motor Co. said Donald Trump’s tariffs have made steel more expensive in the U.S. than any other market, escalating the company’s criticism of the president’s trade war.

“U.S. steel costs are more than anywhere else in the world,” Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of global operations, said Monday at an event marking the start of Ranger pickup production at a factory west of Detroit. He added that Ford is talking to the administration about the tariffs: “We tell them that we need to have competitive costs in our market in order to compete around the world.”

Bloomberg goes on to note that last month Ford CEO Jim Hackett said that the trade wars have already eaten a billion dollars off of the company’s profit, and that’s with most of its metals already sourced from the U.S.

This is what winning feels like.

7. It said, right in the OP excerpt, that Ford is doing exactly that.

3. In my area

On the commercial strip that surrounds our local mall, there are a series of billboards that all say the same thing .... "American Steel = American Jobs. Thank You President Trump".

Little do any of the rubes realize what harm Dumpy's tariffs are causing to American companies.

I wish some other organization would put up a series of billboards that answer those with the truth.

5. Didn't Ford suck off Donnie Fungus Dick????

I hope Ford fucking dries up and dies.

Maybe when the folks who supported Donnie Fungus Dick are eating cat food, they may see the light.

6. Tell all those pick-em-up buyers it's Trump's fault.

They won't believe you, but tell 'em anyhow.

And Trump's not going to listen to Ford, either.

10. Sounds like Trump is waiting for Ford to grease his palm like everyone else. I love it!!!!

All of these charlatans couldn't wait to have the black man OUT and someone who knows something about 'business' IN. Which is why they supported a 'businessman' who had been bankrupt 5 times and who stole from the little guy who was simply trying to keep his business afloat and left them holding the bag when he declared bankruptcy, over and over again. So sad!!!!!

11. Steel/Metal Importers - 66 Tariffs Removed from the Lists

They can't complain now - US Trade Rep removed 66 lines from List 2 of the 301 Investigation and so now Ford can keep jobs in the USA.

12. Hey Ford, quiet

You're disrespecting Donald Trump. Take your bankruptcy like an adult and know that you went out of business for the greater glory of Donald Trump and made America great again! Loot the corporate carcass and kick the employees to the curb. You should know how this works by now.

13. Shhhh.... keep calm! It's all part of Sarandon's 'revolution' we've heard so much about.
