Ford announces lower model prices following Trump's 25% tariffs on non-American-made vehicles

The automobile manufacturer is offering what it coined a “handshake deal with every American,” one day following the imposition of 25% tariffs on non-American-made vehicles.

Ford on Thursday announced a new, lower-cost vehicle pricing plan – “From America, For America” – following President Trump unveiling the previous day 25% tariffs on non-American-made vehicles.

The spring plan will offer employee pricing to potential customers for most vehicles – electric, gas-powered and hybrid – with the exception of some higher-end models include Navigator SUVs.

Addressing customer concerns and uncertainty about the tariffs he said, “We want them to be assured that Ford, the most American auto company, is going to do right by them, as are our dealers.”

Tariffs increase costs due to supply, while interest rates influence demand. When tariffs are imposed, the cost of imported goods rise, increasing prices for consumers and businesses. This cannot be offset by lowering interest rates, as rate cuts stimulate borrowing and investment rather than addressing price increases caused by trade barriers. In fact, lower interest rates can exacerbate the problem by weakening the currency, making imports even more expensive, further fueling inflation.

Most people do not know, but Quebec wanted to separate and join the United States and even formed a Political Party called the 51st State. From an economic perspective, joining with the United States is clearly economically beneficial. I laid that out in the Canadian Report. This has been proposed back and forth since the American Revolution. Provinces would not be allowed to put tariffs on each other. This is all very Marxist, protecting labor but at the price of lowering the standard of living. Others have pointed out that you have no right to vote for who leads your country under a Parliamentary system. Still, others have proposed ending that system and adopting the American system but remaining as Canada.

The New York Post was able to get in contact with one smuggler, who quoted a price of $4,500 per person to cross into upstate New York from Montreal. “When you ready to go, send me your ID,” the smuggler said. The trip reportedly begins in Montreal, Brampton, or Surrey and ends in upstate New York or Washington state. The route to New York includes a two-hour car ride followed by a 25-minute walk through the woods. Migrants are then provided with a map to guide them past official checkpoints, with up to five people crossing at a time.
