The Trump administration on \u200cTuesday blasted Ford Motor’s (F.N), opens new tab business partnerships with Chinese companies, saying they pose national security concerns.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a letter to Ford CEO Jim Farley sent on Tuesday said the automaker’s dealings with Chinese battery maker CATL (300750.SZ), opens new tab \u200band Chinese automakers Geely (0175.HK), opens new tab and BYD (002594.SZ), opens new tab raised “profound concern.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged Ford to cut ties with major \u200bChinese companies.
Duffy said USDOT was “deeply alarmed” by Ford’s reliance on licensed technology from \u2060Chinese battery manufacturer CATL (300750.SZ), opens new tab at its plant in Marshall, Michigan, and noted that CATL is on \u200bthe Pentagon’s list of companies accused of ties to China’s military.
He also criticized the company’s decision not \u200bto move production of the Lincoln Nautilus from China to the United States until 2030, as it leaves the company reliant on Chinese manufacturing for several more years.
Ford, in a statement, said Duffy’s “letter is a wrongheaded attempt to capture \u200bheadlines.” The company added that “while others continue to import Chinese batteries, Ford is investing to build batteries \u200bhere in America” and added that “Ford owns the plant, controls the operation and employs the workforce.”

President Donald Trump is \u200cset \u2060to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month. Duffy’s comments come as Congress is pushing to tighten a ban on Chinese vehicles in the United States.
Major automakers last week urged Congress to pass the ban before the end of the year — and expressly urged lawmakers to bar BYD and \u200bother Chinese automakers from receiving \u200bwaivers to sell \u2060vehicles in the United States.
Duffy also questioned Farley’s pitch in January to administration officials at the Detroit auto show “to facilitate Chinese joint ventures on United States \u200bsoil.”
The Chinese Embassy in Washington, CATL, BYD and Geely did not immediately \u200brespond to \u2060requests for comment.
“When a company intentionally chooses to deepen operational dependencies on strategic competitors, it fails to act as the reliable partner the American public and this DOT require,” Duffy said of Ford.
Ford’s deal with Geely \u2060faced \u200bcriticism in July, with the chair of the U.S. House select \u200bcommittee on China, Representative John Moolenaar of Michigan, saying the “partnership with Geely will further enable China\u2019s decimation of auto markets in \u200bEurope.”
It has also faced criticism for its partnership with CATL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
