Ford's is interesting.
Bill Ford is the one who talks to Trump, billionaire to billionaire. He was the one who called Trump to give him the news Ford was canceling plans for a new $1.6 billion plant in Mexico and investing more in the U.S., an announcement that followed a number of tweets threatening to penalize Ford for making cars in Mexico (a position that has not changed).
Have you talked to Trump?
“I talked to him last week before we did our announcement. I have frequent conversations with them. He’s very accessible, very easy to talk to, so I’m really pleased.”
What do you talk about in regular conversations with Trump?
“We talk about all kinds of things: trade policy, currency fluctuations, tax policy, all the things that would affect our business. And I have found him to be very informed and very respectful of our position. I’m very encouraged by some of the early indications, particularly on tax policy. The corporate income tax rate is something all American companies would like to see lower. That’s something he’s indicated he’s willing to take on.”
