Ford CEO Mark Fields told CNN that Donald Trump 's claims about the automaker are
"absolutely not" true.
"It's really unfortunate when politics gets in the way of facts and
the facts are Ford's investment in the U.S. and commitment to American jobs has
never been stronger," Fields said on Thursday.
Ford's small-car production will be
relocated from U.S. manufacturing plants to Mexico over the next two to three
years, Fields said at the automaker's investor conference on Wednesday. The GOP
presidential nominee called it another example of companies taking jobs away
from Americans.
"To think that Ford is moving its
small-car division is a disgrace. It's disgraceful. It's disgraceful that our
politicians allow them to get away with it," Trump said in a speech at the
Economic Club of New York on Thursday.
When CNN asked whether Ford
would be cutting any U.S. jobs as a result of this decision, Fields said,
"Absolutely not. Zero."
