Ford is going ahead with plans to move small car production from the US to Mexico despite Donald Trump's recent threats to impose tariffs on companies that move work abroad.

Chief executive Mark Fields said Ford's plan to move production of the Focus from Michigan to Mexico will proceed, in part because US consumers demand low prices for small cars.
