Motorola Mobility will be shutting down its factory in Fort Worth, Texas by the end of the year, in advance of Lenovo's purchase of the unit from Google.
The factory, which assembles Motorola's flagship Moto X Android phone and only opened in May 2013, will be closed down due to weak sales by Motorola and high manufacturing costs.
The Moto X will continue to be manufactured, but in Brazil and China among other locations. Motorola will look to focus on its success on its other cheaper mobile handsets, such as the Moto G which sold three million units in the first quarter

In any case the phone was not made in America - it was assembled in America using Chinese made components.

I wonder when the first gofundme request to purchase a new iPhone will appear?

By your logic, no one can complain about globalization because I guarantee you everyone here owns something that was manufactured in China or somewhere else.
