In what is a major development for the company, Ford has announced that it is halting shipments of certain vehicles to China amid a brewing trade war with the US. Indeed, the automaker is suspending shipments of its F-150 and other models to the country as tensions between both nations rise.

Moreover, Ford’s decision to cease its shipments came just a day after the company issued a memo warning that it would consider raising prices if both nations’ import duty increases remained.
