    Ford closes car factory due to Brexit

    Ford scales back in South America - BBC News
    Ford has said it will close a factory in Brazil after more than 50 years as it stops selling heavy commercial trucks in South America.

    The US carmaker said it saw "no viable path to profitability" for the Sao Bernardo do Campo plant, which employs about 2,800 people.

    The closure is the latest move in a bigger global restructuring.
    Yeah, and the timing of Brexit is just a coincidence? Don't try and play political, this is Brexit related pure and simple, nothing to do with global car production issues, emissions, or the move to electric vehicles...

    Did you read the link?

    You say it's global car production
    The link says that the plant doesn't produce cars.

    Take your pick.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Ah, the joy of fake news. If something is factually wrong, complain that those pointing out the factual error are pedantic.
