Donald Trump blasted Ford Motor Company when they announced that they were moving their operations to Mexico. Now, they are making a HUGE announcement.

Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wrote a letter to Trump defending his company, and elaborated on the defense of his company in an interview with CNBC: “Ford Motor Co. is here to stay in the United States. It’s presidential politics and we are just going stay focused on facts.”
Trump first blasted Ford in April when the carmaker announced a $2.5 billion expansion of operations in Mexico.
