08:01 PM EDT, 08/12/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Ford Motor Company ( F ) plans to move production of some Lincoln models from China to the US beginning in 2030, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing Chief Executive Jim Farley.

Farley said the move was difficult but necessary to strengthen the US auto manufacturing base, citing tariffs as the primary driver alongside restrictions under the Connected Vehicle Rule, the report said, adding that he US tariff on the Lincoln Nautilus, Ford's main vehicle imported from China, is 52.5%, the company.

Farley said the US-made Lincolns would be sold domestically as part of an effort to scale up output, though the company did not disclose where they would be produced.

A Ford spokesperson said that after discussions with the US Commerce Department, the company determined the Lincoln Nautilus no longer needs authorization to sell in the US, Reuters reported.

Ford did not immediately respond to a request for comment MT Newswires.
