OANN – Car manufacturer Honda is reportedly in the works to massively expand its manufacturing production in the United States due to President Donald Trump’s new auto tariffs.
The Japanese automaker is now considering shifting major production from Canada and Mexico to the U.S. with the outcome of ensuring 90% of the cars it sells in America are built domestically, according to the Nikkei newspaper.
The outlet also reported that it is planning on increasing production across the U.S. by almost 30% over the next two-to-three years.
The report also indicated Honda may add more American workers to help in the changes and could expand production operations to include a three-shift schedule with weekend work.
Furthermore, General Motors (GM) and Nissan stated last week they will be increasing production at their U.S. facilities.
As of now, GM manufactures its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups at plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
In a similar move, Nissan announced it will continue operating two shifts at its plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, despite an earlier plan to reduce to a single shift.
