Ford's Lincoln Will Make SUVs In China Despite Trump Pressure

 

Ford's Lincoln unit will start making an upscale SUV in China by 2019, a move made despite President Trump's pressure on automakers to produce vehicles in the U.S.

 

The decision to produce in China means the automaker wouldn't be hit with a 25% tariff that China slaps on vehicles made outside its borders — similar to the border tax Trump has called for in the U.S.

Ford will build the car in collaboration with Changan Automobile Group, already a partner with Ford, in the city of Chongqing. U.S. automakers that want to make cars in China can only do so if they partner with a company in China.
