Ford offers employee pricing to all car shoppers as new auto tariffs kick in
CBSN
Ford Motor on Thursday announced that it would allow car shoppers to buy its 2024-25 vehicles, including gas, electric and hybrid-powered models, at the discounted price the automaker offers to its employees.
Called "From America, For America," the promotion was unveiled on the same day a new 25% U.S. tariff on foreign vehicles took effect. It also follows President Trump's announcement the previous day of sweeping tariff increases on U.S. trading partners around the world — levies that many analysts say are likely to raise prices on a range of consumer goods.
One analysis estimated that car prices could rise as much as $12,200 for some models due to the new car import duties, according to a report from Anderson Economic Group, a Michigan-based economic consultancy.

Powerful storms repeatedly struck parts of the South and Midwest late last week and over the weekend, killing dozens of people across multiple states and giving way to disastrous flooding in a number of regions. Some Kentucky cities and towns have seen inundation reach historic levels, as heavy rainfall caused major rivers to swell and spill over onto the land.
