Ford employs 85,000 U.S. workers -- a rise of 50 percent in the last five years.
Earlier in September, Ford's CEO Mark Fields confirmed the company would migrate all of its small-car production to Mexico over the next two-to-three years.
Ford currently employs 8,800 people in Mexico and the new plant will create 2,800 additional jobs there.
Fields rebutted Trump's claims that the company plans to move its U.S. operations to Mexico, saying that "not one job will be lost."
"Most of our investment is here in the U.S. And that's the way it will continue to be," he said.
