In recent months, the global automotive sector has been facing significant challenges, primarily driven by changing US trade policy and dynamic internal strategies among major automakers. One of the most high-profile developments has been Nissan’s $7201.T announcement to cut production of its flagship Rogue SUV at its Kyushu plant in Japan. This move is a direct response to the newly imposed 25% US import tariffs on foreign-made cars and may have wide-reaching consequences not only for Nissan but for the broader auto industry as well.

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.
