Mexico says does not expect Ford move to spark similar decisions

Mexico's economy minister said on Tuesday he did not believe that Ford Motor Co.'s decision to cancel its planned $1.6 billion factory in San Luis Potosi state will trigger a series of similar decisions.

Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo told local radio that the decision was specific to Ford's changing demand as well as the company's stance toward U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

Ford, the second largest U.S. automaker, said it would build new electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles at the Flat Rock, Michigan plant and add 700 jobs.
