Vance tours Ford plant in Detroit to promote auto industry reshoring

Vice President JD Vance toured a Ford Motor Company assembly facility in Detroit, Michigan on Jan. 28, 2026, to promote domestic auto manufacturing employment. Ford had announced expansions of U.S. truck production under terms tied to the administration's 25 percent tariffs on imported vehicles from Canada and Mexico; Vance cited the facility as evidence that tariff policy was driving investment decisions by domestic automakers.
