Four key issues facing Ford

Trade

Ford supports trade policies and agreements that create and sustain U.S. jobs - expanding opportunities for U.S. exports and leveling the playing field for American companies and workers. As America's number one vehicle assembler and exporter¹, Ford cares deeply about ensuring trade agreements are free and fair.

Whether it's working on the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement – USMCA – or ensuring that currency exchange rates are set by markets, not countries, the Ford team is working to make sure markets around the world are open to our products.

State legislation

Each year Ford faces almost 1,000 different pieces of legislation in state capitals that can impact Ford’s business operations and bottom line. Sometimes it’s competitors trying to change to state laws to gain an unfair advantage when it comes to selling and servicing vehicles, other times it involves developing solutions for emerging technologies and innovation. Ford works closely with policy makers in the states to help shape solutions and to ensure all automakers compete on a level playing field.
