FEW corporate chieftains seem to have cultivated President Donald Trump quite like Bill Ford.

When Ford cancelled a new US$1.6 billion plant in Mexico, winning Mr Trump's praise and suggesting his tough talk about jobs was working, the friendship seemed sealed. Mr Trump now calls the 59-year-old Bill Ford "my friend", and the two speak regularly by phone about taxes, currencies and trade.
