Ford Expects Cheaper Cars and Increased Domestic Production After Regulatory Changes, Says CEO

Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley expressed his support for President Donald Trump's recent decision to roll back coffee shop regulations implemented during the Joe Biden administration, asserting that the change will have a direct impact on reducing costs and increasing the ability to produce more vehicles in the United States.

In an interview with Fox News, Farley called the measure "a victory for affordability and common sense," emphasizing that the regulatory relaxation will allow the company to accelerate the introduction of new models for the domestic market. According to the executive, the elimination of these rules opens the door to "launching American-made vehicles that can be offered at more affordable prices," something he says had been difficult under the previous regulatory framework.

Farley's comment adds to a growing debate in the automotive sector about the role of regulation in production costs, competitiveness in international markets, and the transition to new technologies. For the Ford CEO, the adjustment announced by the White House represents a relief for automakers seeking to balance innovation, domestic manufacturing, and affordable prices in an economic environment pressured by inflation and global competition.

Although opinions within the industry are diverse, Farley's statements demonstrate the interest of some companies in a more flexible regulatory agenda that, they argue, could stimulate investment, domestic production, and the availability of vehicles for consumers with different income levels.
