Ford Motor Company said Monday it’s halting construction of a $3.5 billion electric vehicle (EV) battery plant project in Michigan that has drawn criticism over its links to China.
“We’re pausing work, and we’re going to limit spending on construction at Marshall until we’re confident about our ability to competitively run the plant,” Ford spokesman T.R. Reid told The Epoch Times via email on Sept. 25.
