Ford may not be the last to terminate a US model over tariffs


DETROIT: Ford Motor Co is unlikely to be the last to say forget it to a vehicle that doesn’t make financial sense for the US market anymore thanks to Donald Trump’s trade wars.

The second-largest US carmaker has pulled the plug on plans to import a new small crossover from China called the Focus Active. Trump was the culprit behind the decision: His administration started imposing an additional 25% tariff on vehicles imported from the country he’s portrayed as America’s biggest trading foe in July.
