President of the United States Donald Trump on Twitter appealed to Ford and offered it to begin production of the compact Focus Active SUV on the US territory, since in this case the American company will not pay duties. However, the management of Ford said that it did not plan to move the production of SUV from China to the US. Representatives of Ford noted that “the production of Focus Active in the US will be unprofitable, because the expected level of annual sales does not exceed 50 thousand”. They proudly noted that the production of Ford cars and the number of employees in the US exceed the performance of other automakers.
