""Ford CEO Says Transportation Secretary Had ‘Basic Misunderstandings’ in Letter - Exchange shows how politically sensitive the question of Chinese automakers breaking into the U.S. has become"
"Ford Motor Chief Executive Jim Farley strongly rejected claims from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy that the automaker was growing overly reliant on Chinese car companies, including through its business tie-ups overseas and a battery plant in Michigan. "These are basic misunderstandings, mistruths, whatever words you want to use," Farley told the outlet."

A Fox news version seems to be more readable without paying.

I don't want to get political, but I think it is hilarious that the White House then had to do damage control for Ford.
"On Wednesday, the White House's Rapid Response 47 account appeared to defend the automaker, writing on X that Ford "is a GREAT American company" that has "done a tremendous job on increasing investments domestically and shoring production back to the U.S." "
