John Murphy
Ready for getting back in your seats. For folks on the side, if you could settle down and get your seats or if you could quite out over there just because we’ve got a bit of an echo over here. Next up, we’re very happy to have Ford Motor Company. We have like a dear friend, John Lawler, who is the Vice Chair currently, prior CFO and had many, many roles in the company over the years. John’s new role is focused much more on strategy, traveling the planet, trying to understand what’s going on in the industry everywhere as well as Ford and everywhere. So it’s an all encompassing job. I’m sure John is not slept in a very, very long time, given everything that’s going on right now in the industry and with Ford and it goes way beyond just the recent tariff noise. So thank you very much for all the help over the years, partnership and especially coming today. So we really, really appreciate your time.
John Lawler
Thanks for having me.
John Murphy
We’re going to kick off with the obligatory tariff question just to get that out of the way and then get into some some of the real meat of what’s going on at the company and the industry. Hopefully, we’ll get through this pretty quickly. There’s a lot going on tariffs. There’s a lot of extreme uncertainty. I just wonder if you could kind of sort of review some of the public statements and how Ford is thinking about this at the moment. And in reality, Ford is very, very well positioned. It’s been a great American company
