  • Good morning! It's Friday, February 7, 2025, and this is The Morning Shift, your daily roundup of the top automotive headlines from around the world, in one place. Here are the important stories you need to know.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's criticism of electric vehicle (EV) projects, particularly focusing on a $4 billion EV battery plant in Michigan by Ford and CATL, a Chinese company. Trump has expressed concerns over these projects, suggesting they represent a "betrayal" of American workers by potentially benefiting Chinese companies at the expense of U.S. interests. He has pledged to reverse these initiatives if re-elected, arguing that they could lead to job losses in the U.S. and increase reliance on foreign technology.

The article highlights the political divide on EV policies, with implications for economic, environmental, and international trade policies.
