Prices already keep cars and car manufacturers outside the United States

Good morning! It’s Monday, April 7, 2025, and it’s a quarter of the morning, your daily overview of the best automobile titles from around the world, in the same place. This is where you will find the most important stories that shape the way Americans drive and move.

In this morning edition, we take a look at the first effects of Trump’s prices on the automotive industry and the state of mind of Elon Musk. We will also examine whether the prices help or hurt, and how workers from other nations feel about them.

Trump’s prices have already assigned the market – keep an eye on your 401 (K) – but everyone was waiting with a breath to see how companies will react with regard to the real physical items that you can buy. You know, real things, not computer money. Well, now we are starting to get answers. Infiniti interrupts American orders for his two compact crosses, Jaguar Land Rover interrupts the exports of British construction cars in the United States, and Audi interrupts cars in Port in the hope that things will change. Of Reuters:

Nissan will not accept any additional order from Infiniti QX50 and QX55 SUVs for the American market produced at the Compass factory which he executed with Mercedes-Benz in Mexico. Nissan said production should continue for the models sold on other markets.

It’s good! Americans do not want small vehicles anyway, we want the biggest imaginable trucks. It seems that Jaguar Land River may have less instinctive plans in the long-term knee, but this may depend on our own government. Once again of Reuters:

Audi is directly in Trump’s pricing line, with its best -selling American model, Q5, produced in Mexico, and its remaining models from Europe or elsewhere.

The brand sent a note to dealers, reported on the publication of the Automotive News publication by US Trade, saying that it would freeze the April 2 expeditions to a new opinion, a spokesman said.

The problem with the American car market has always been that there are too many choices. The prizes of dealers encourage decisions to paralysis, and President Trump is doing his best to alleviate this disease in good Christian cars buyers. Do you really need sixteen compact multisgments with two rows to choose, or would the market be better served by a single choice supported by the government? Sorry, I give a word that this is exactly what we are supposed to hate in Cuban grocery stores.

Elon Musk is not terrified by the world around him. This, at least, is according to the outgoing German vice-chancellor Robert Habeck, who based his comments on the support of Musk at the international trade without a price during an Italian right-wing brainstoral session last Saturday. Musk is apparently a big free trade guy now, but Habeck wonders if it’s authentic or if she just looks for hers. From Bloomberg::

“I have read what Elon Musk said – I think it is a sign of weakness, and perhaps fear,” said Habeck on the sidelines of a meeting of European trade ministers in Luxembourg while Trump’s prices continued to lead a world financial markets.

…

Habeck said Musk should tell Trump to stop the trade war before talking about all kinds of zero-tail.

“It is ridiculous and the only interpretation that I have is that he sees now that his own companies and even the savings will collapse because of the mess they have made, so he is afraid,” said Habeck.

Elon Musk? Afraid? Man sleeps with a false model of an imaginary pistol next to his bed, what should he have to fear?

The Nissan Rogue is a medium -sized multi -size multisegment, but whose market share could be really injured by prices. Nissan, in response, does exactly what the Trump administration hoped: to move more production in the United States. Or, at least, not making production cuts that had been planned before. Of Reuters:

As of this summer, Nissan plans to reduce production in its Fukuoka factory in western Japan and transfer a certain manufacture of its VU Voyou in the United States to mitigate the impact of Trump prices, the business newspaper said, without citing the source of its information.

…

The automaker now plans to maintain two ROGU production changes in its Smyrna factory, Tennessee, after announcing in January that it would end one of the two quarters of work this month.

The displacement of the production of Japan in the United States will be interesting because it could submit Nissan to reciprocal prices against the states of other nations. Will Nissan have to reduce Fukoka to full capacity to mitigate the problem? Will the prices on each side last long enough to justify this kind of action? Only time will tell us.

The main union of Canada, Unifor, has largely taken the US workers in the United States to strive to improve working conditions for people who make cars through borders. Now, however, the two have separated: the UAW shawn Fain supported Trump’s prices, while Unifor condemned them. Of Detroit Free Press::

Unifor Lana Payne’s national president no longer sees her eyes with UAW Shawn Fain chief.

In a split with his Canadian brother, the president of the UAW approved the 25% prices of President Donald Trump on foreign vehicles and manufacturing parts – the same paid prices called “reckless and dangerous” for the entire integrated automotive industry.

Approval of prices is an unexpected decision of Fain, which has long supported large movements focused on workers as a general strike. Unifor’s decision, however, talks about the amount of Canadian pride that Trump has caused in recent months. Even Quebecers are pro-Canadians at this stage. Do you know how rare is it?

Fortunately, this speech did not lay the basics for the Americans to die and to kill in a useless war that we have lost. It would have been a shame that all of Domino’s theory only existed to justify the American intervention in countries which did not want us, all prove the superiority of an economic system which is now breathless and stammered while it collapses under its own weight. Happy to know that Eisenhower just said that by hand, and it has never had major ramifications.

Frances Quinlan has one of my favorite expressed in music, and some songs present it better than “Tibetan Pop Stars”. Listen to this song and tell me that it is not one of your favorite singers now too.
