Why might Ford be shifting some jobs from Mexico to the United States?

Ford is moving production of its 2016 Ford F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks to its Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, near Cleveland, Ohio.  Currently those medium-duty trucks are produced in Mexico. Ford will be investing $168 million in the Avon Lake facility to retool the plant since it is currently set up to produce the Ford E-Series delivery vans (which are currently being phased out in favor of new, more efficient transit vans.)

Questions1. What reasons could Ford have had to shift production of the medium-duty trucks

to Mexico originally?2. What reasons could Ford have for shifting production of the medium-duty trucks

back to the United States now?
