The article, from the BBC, cuts right to the chase:
A few months ago Ford's decision to abandon plans for a new plant in Mexico was seen as a triumph for President Trump and his approach to US companies and global trade.
His personal and public intervention seemed to have brought production of Ford's new Focus model to the United States - a clear win for Mr Trump's belief that goods bought by Americans should be made in the US.
Having the Focus made in China instead was not part of the plan. So Ford clearly runs a risk of annoying Mr Trump further. But with his legislative agenda stalled, his administration engulfed in controversies and his approval ratings sinking, it's not clear what he can do to stop it.

Not clear to me whether this is a move because President Trump's administration is perceived as losing strength fighting other fires, or whether it is simply a move brought on by the stockholders desire to boost profits.
They were adamant in their announcement it would not cost any jobs in Michigan and stressed that they were retooling an SUV plant in Kentucky.
Spicer made a statement saying it pointed out the need for tax reform.
