Ford Launches $1B Kentucky Paint Shop Amid Duffy Criticism
Ford announced a $1 billion investment for a new paint shop at its Kentucky Truck Plant, its most profitable U.S. facility. This move follows a public dispute with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who criticized Ford’s ties to Chinese automakers. Ford rejected the criticism as 'wrongheaded,' emphasizing its status as the top U.S. manufacturer. The announcement coincides with broader U.S.-China tensions in the auto sector and a court victory for California’s emissions standards.
