In response to a 25% tariff imposed by the Trump administration on imported vehicles, Nissan will reduce production of SUVs for the US market at its Kyushu plant in Kanda, Fukuoka. The automaker plans to scale back output by over 10,000 units over a three-month period starting in May. This move follows adjustments to production schedules at Nissan’s Tennessee facility. Despite the cuts, Nissan stated that overall operations and employment at the Kanda plant will remain unchanged. Other automakers, including Honda, are also shifting production strategies in light of the new trade policy. Source: NHK
