The announcement drew cheers from hundreds of workers at the Flat Rock plant, the New York Timesreported.
“I don’t know if you can really understand the impact of this investment,” Jimmy Settles, a vice president of the United Auto Workers union who represents Ford workers, told the Times. “This is the equivalent to a new assembly plant.”
The decision comes amid growing criticism from figures like Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump of U.S. policies on free trade. Trump once called Ford's Mexico plans "an absolute disgrace."
