Ford halts shipments of vehicles to China amid tariffs

Source: Reuters

Ford Motor said on Friday it has halted shipments of its SUVs, pick-up trucks and sports cars to China, as it starts to face the heat from retaliatory tariffs that have seen vehicles face taxes as high as 150%.

"We have adjusted exports from the U.S. to China in light of the current tariffs," Ford said in a statement.

The company this week halted shipments of its F-150 Raptors, Mustangs and Michigan-built Bronco SUVs as well as Kentucky-made Lincoln Navigators to China.

The development comes as U.S. automakers scramble to find ways to tackle President Donald Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs, which are expected to dent profits of carmakers and parts suppliers likewise.
The Wall Street Journal was first to report on the halt, citing people familiar with the matter.
