Good point but I suspect both governments will have their hands full of other matters this year. Trump will be trying to get his Muslim travel ban in place and Mexican wall built whilst trying to avoid the Russian investigation. Theresa May will be arguing how large a settlement the country should cough up. Latest reports in The Telegraph say £2bn.

And nothing desperate about my earlier responses to media reports as I still stand by them based off official information that was released at the time. !

As for Ford making the focus in China. Does Ford only make one type of car model now ?
You've missed the point as much as Theresa May misses her inherited Parliamentry majority. Ford no longer fears the President and yet another of his claimed victories is no more. The Standard describes the situation quite succinctly:
Quote:
Ford Trumps Donald
To Donald Trump's litany of failures - the Mexican wall, Muslim travel ban, repealing Obamacare - today we can add his protectionist agenda.
After being vilified by the President in his first days in office for planning a move to Mexico, Ford scrapped the idea and pledged a rethink. Now, six months later, the results of that review are in, Instead of Mexico, the new Ford Focus will be built in...China.
Don't underestimate the significance of this snub. For all-American Ford to take a decision like this, it must no longer fear the President. It has gone for decision that makes most long-term economic sense.
The US has an increasingly ineffective leadership unable to push through its leader's damaging agendas. Business is breathing a sigh of relief. Sound familiar?
