and ford is shutting a plant in france as well come this summer around eight hundred people will lose their jobs their suppliers made a takeover bid but ford has rejected it the french government is not the only one to criticize the move. for the little he says you know the ford is letting us go with nothing so they have to pay that's that they have to pay they have to give us money. to get on the wrong. the severance payments are still under negotiation and that's only the beginning ford has announced that it's going to close even more locations in europe. and contrast to those ford layoffs around the world fear across what has announced six and a half thousand new jobs at home in a four and a half billion dollar investment plan for the detroit area the company plans to reopen an engine facility in the city and convert another factor into

that's why the company wants to boost its sales outside europe by fifty percent by twenty twenty one. but i also want to tell you that we have made a decision that this rule will be the brand that we will bring to north america. the u.s. market and or the canadian market. but it's not that long since u.s. president donald trump declared the import of european cars a threat to national security aides threatened to roll out punitive import tariffs on french and german vehicles. and of course because there are still ongoing discussions about tariffs we will wait a few weeks or a few months until we see clearly what are the targets that will come out of those discussions and that we call for that all business plans are flying and they will fly because we are extremely frugal and extremely creative. until now the

c.e.o. of p.s.a. had stressed that he had no problem with pursuing a message of cost cutting agenda that course is now bearing fruit net profits have jumped forty percent and even the formerly struggling opel is back in the black the long standing german car makers shared around four thousand jobs in the past year and now plans to go international again but this time its target market is not north america but russia. that's been our financial was one of conrad listen at the frankfurt stock exchange the french cars for the u.s. german cars for russia is that part of possibilities for social. it definitely will be expensive to convince americans to buy cars designed in france that's why quite a few investors dropped the shares of persia well after the announcement what's potentially a bit more successful is this reintroduction of opel in russia before the sanctions
