President Trump’s trade war again tests Canada’s new government. Honda is also postponing a major electric vehicle factory in Canada.

Japan's Honda Motor forecast a 59% profit decrease in the current financial year and said it would put on hold a plan to build an EV supply chain in Canada, amid the uncertainty stemming from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

During the announcement of its 2024-2025 fiscal year financial results on May 13, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe stated that in the current fiscal year, which began on April 1 and will end on March 31 next year, Honda expects the impact of the Trump Administration’s tariff policy to hammer 650 billion yen (~$4.34 billion) off its operating profits.
