Ford thanks Trump as Japan floats buying a fleet of F-150 trucks
Japan’s government said it may import Ford F-150 trucks for its transport ministry to use while inspecting roads and infrastructure.
That would be a win for the Trump administration, which has long complained of American vehicles being shut out of the market that’s home to Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and Subaru.
“We appreciate President Trump’s advocating for American made products,” Ford spokesperson Dave Tovar said. “We would be excited to introduce America’s best-selling truck to work and government customers in Japan.”
Trump bought into the idea while flying to Asia, saying “That’s a hot truck.”
