Here's a question for ya....

Ford builds vehicles for certain markets outside of the US.

Are these vehicles still considered part of the global market? Is it fair to assume that a certain percentage of said vehicles parts came from the USA?

Or, does this only apply to vehicles built for and sold in the North American market?

Lets not make this political.

Most of the European cars have a very high European content to avoid import taxes, I know their engines and transmissions are made over there except for the small diesels. The diesels there are built in the US and Brazil.
