Ford, JPMorgan and Michigan join effort to support US manufacturers

Ford, JPMorgan Chase and the state of Michigan are joining forces to support manufacturers and startups.

The effort is part of a push to rebuild US supply chains that were moved overseas.

The partners aim to connect companies with financing, customers and government support.

Ford CEO Jim Farley says the company will commit $1 billion in purchases to businesses developing capabilities such as advanced manufacturing, magnets and rare earths.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says the bank will provide lending through its broader effort to strengthen security and resilience.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer says she is hopeful the partnership will help, but no further details about the plan or its next steps are given.
