Automaker Ford Motor Company has announced a $1 million contribution along with the provision of a vehicle fleet to support the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Ford has joined a group of leading corporations that have pledged significant donations for Trump’s inauguration. This move reflects the business community’s intention to collaborate with the new administration, whose policies could significantly impact corporate interests.
According to The Hill, the Trump administration is considering key issues such as import tariffs and tax incentives for electric vehicles, which directly affect Ford. The company faces challenges in scaling up electric vehicle production and promoting them in the market. Trump’s proposals to impose high tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, as well as eliminate incentives for electric cars, could negatively impact Ford’s operations.
Regarding the vehicles to be provided for the inauguration, Ford has yet to disclose specific details. It remains unclear whether these cars will be used directly in Trump’s inaugural motorcade or for other purposes related to his administration.
