In a statement, the company said it will continue to engage with Trump and Congress.

“Today, we confirmed with the President-elect that our small Lincoln utility vehicle made at the Louisville Assembly Plant will stay in Kentucky. We are encouraged that President-elect Trump and the new Congress will pursue policies that will improve U.S. competitiveness and make it possible to keep production of this vehicle here in the U.S," the company said.

The Washington Post confirmed that Ford had been planning to relocate production of its Lincoln MKC model to Mexico from Kentucky but had never planned on moving the factory.

Ford is still planning to move ahead with transferring the production of some of its small cars from Michigan to Mexico, its CEO told Reuters earlier this week. Ford has maintained the change will not cost American jobs.
