MAGA: Ford Cancels Plans to Import SUV Model From China in Wake of Tariffs

Ford Motor Co. is canceling plans to import a new crossover model from a plant in China after President Donald Trump’s tariffs undermined the business case for bringing the vehicle to the U.S. market.
Trump’s move to slap China-built autos with an additional 25 percent levy in July undermined the profitability of the Focus Active that Ford planned to start shipping into the U.S. about a year from now, Kumar Galhotra, president of North America, said in a conference call with reporters. The company decided it wasn’t worth investing more money in a vehicle that would have had fewer than 50,000 unit sales a year in the U.S.
“Our viewpoint on Focus Active was that, given the tariffs, obviously our costs would be substantially higher,” Galhotra said. “Our resources could be better deployed.”

Ford was going to call it a crossover but it looks like a regular focus.

There may be other reasons why. Doesn't look like a "SUV" that Americans would buy (in large enough numbers).

I looked for that in the article, but it's not there. Trade wars are easy to win.

Yep, it was always this easy. That just goes to show you what poor and weak leadership we had in the past. MAGA.

To liberal vagina's like you and the rest of these nut less wonders around here, you might consider it a loss, but the more pressure on China, the better for America !!

That looks like a car that would only be seen on the streets of Europe, or getting demolished in a James Bond movie.

Seeing how the Chinese built 6 speed manuals are constantly having issues in Mustangs, I wouldn't touch a made in china car with a 10 foot pole.

By limiting the choices of an American company and consumers? Chinese customers getting great deals on these crossovers now

So the results are
1. Americans won’t get another affordable option on this car
2. Ford sales will be impacted
3. No net benefit to the US as they wont build it here
4. Hurts Chinese workers
Great policy

That's kind of what I am thinking.
What is the tangible upside of this news?
