(Reuters) -Ford Motor said on Friday that he had interrupted the expeditions of his SUVs, his vans and his sports cars in China, while she is starting to cope with the heat of the reprisals rates that have seen vehicles facing taxes up to 150%.
“We have adjusted exports from the United States to China in the light of current prices,” Ford said in a statement.
This week, the company has interrupted the expeditions of its Raptors F-150, Mustangs and Bronco SUVs built by Michigan as well as Lincoln navigators made in Kentucky in China.

Development comes as American car manufacturers rush to find ways to fight the booming prices of President Donald Trump, who should also work the profits from car manufacturers and parts suppliers.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the judgment, citing people familiar with the issue.
Ford exports of engines and transmissions built by the United States to China should continue despite the export break from assembled vehicles.
His model Lincoln Nautilus, made in China, should also have continuous expeditions, despite heavy prices.
Ford is among the most placed car manufacturers to summarize the prices, as it produces around 80% of its American vehicles at the national level.
However, the automaker should increase the prices of its new vehicles if the prices continue, according to an internal note sent to the dealers seen by Reuters.
An analysis of the Center for Automotive Research published earlier this month said that prices of 25% of Trump on car imports will increase costs for car manufacturers by around $ 108 billion in 2025.
Trump earlier this week launched the idea that he was considering a modification of the rates related to the car, indicating that he could allow exemptions from existing levies.
