Ford's decision not to sell a Chinese-made small vehicle in the US is evidence the tariffs are working, according to US President TrumpDonald Trump. In a tweet, Donald Trump claimed the car could now be made in the US, allowing Ford to avoid the 25% tariff on car imports. Ford has denied the Focus Active will now be built in America, confirming it would be unprofitable to do so and that it will not be sold in the US. The US has imposed tariffs on Chinese goods to force the country to abandon so-called unfair trade practices and the “theft” of American intellectual property.
