🚗 Nissan Halts US Production for Canadian Market Amid Trade Uncertainty
According to Nikkei, Nissan (OTC: $NSANY, TYO: 7201) has suspended production of three vehicle models at its Tennessee and Mississippi plants that are bound for Canada, citing uncertainty amid ongoing auto tariff negotiations between Washington and Ottawa.
Production of the Pathfinder and Murano SUVs in Tennessee and the Frontier pickup in Mississippi has been halted since May, though Nissan has not disclosed how many vehicles are affected.
This move comes as trade tensions escalate following President Trump’s administration imposing 25% tariffs on imported vehicles in April, with Canada retaliating in response.
Adding to its challenges, a day earlier, Kyodo reported that Nissan is scaling back its new Leaf EV production plans due to a parts shortage caused by China’s rare earth export restrictions.
As the global auto industry navigates tariff uncertainties and supply chain disruptions, Nissan’s production pause underscores the far-reaching ripple effects of geopolitical and trade tensions on manufacturing and market strategies.
