The first giant in the automotive industry, which stops orders for the US, after the rates imposed by Donald Trump: “We no longer accept”

Nissan also said that it will maintain two production exchanges for the Rogue SUV at its Smyrna plant, Tennessee, after announcing in January that he would close one of the two exchanges this month.

The decision of the Japanese car producer comes as a result of the new rates imposed by Donald Trump and the Presidential Administration of the United States.

• The US administration, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, has decided to impose an additional 25% tax for imports from the car sector. This measure, with a significant impact on the market, could lead to a considerable increase in vehicles in the US. The new rates are to enter into force on April 2, the date Trump described as the “Day of Liberation”.

• It is a protectionist promise of the Republican President, from the past election campaign. Donald Trump invoked a 1962 law to be able to increase taxes on any vehicles or car parts coming to the US. It is what the specialists call the start of a “global economic war”.

Donald Trump's tariffs, problematic to Nissan

A Nissan spokesman said today that models are exported to other important markets, such as the Middle East and Canada, but did not provide more details. Due to the range of embedded models, the Japanese car manufacturer is facing great difficulties on the North American market.

And for this reason, but also because of the lack of hybrid variants. The company is very affected by the new rates, because it exports the largest number of cars from Mexico to the US among all Japanese car manufacturers.

These issues caused Japanese to reduce their profit forecast three times in the last financial yearthe company being relegated even to the status of “not recommended for investments”.
