On April 15, it was announced that Nissan would scale back production of its highly popular Rogue SUV model in the United States from May through July, a direct response to the recently imposed import tariffs by the U.S. government. This strategic adjustment positions Nissan as the latest international automaker to realign its production strategies in the wake of the Trump administration's decision to levy a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars. This tariff has had a profound effect on the global automotive supply chain. As Japan's third-largest automaker, Nissan is particularly vulnerable to these tariffs, given that the U.S. is its largest market, accounting for over a quarter of its car sales last year, many of which originate from Japan or Mexico. According to reports, Nissan intends to reduce production of 13,000 Rogue vehicles at its Kyushu plant, amounting to more than one-fifth of the 62,000 Rogue vehicles sold in the U.S. during the first quarter of this year.
