The Japanese automotive giant, Nissan Motor, is considering a pivotal move in response to evolving US economic policies. According to the Nikkei business daily, Nissan may shift part of its domestic production of vehicles designed for the US market directly to American soil. This decision comes as a reaction to heightened tariffs on imports, prompted by the trade policies of former US President Donald Trump.  

Japanese automotive giant Nissan Motor Co. recently announced that it will halt new orders for two Infiniti SUV models, the QX50 and QX55, in the United States. The decision comes as a direct response to the high tariffs on vehicles imported into the US, imposed during Donald Trump’s presidency. This move is expected to significantly reduce production at the COMPAS plant, a joint venture between Nissan and Mercedes-Benz in Mexico. Production for other international markets, however, will continue as planned.

Japanese automaker Nissan Motor has recently come under the spotlight due to shifts in the US automotive policy. On Thursday, the company announced the suspension of new orders for two Infiniti SUVs destined for the American market. This decision came in response to additional tariffs imposed on Mexican-made vehicles by former President Donald Trump. These changes impact both Nissan's production strategy and its supply structure to key markets.
