B: Not much, just the usual stuff. What's up? 🤔
A: So, Nissan and Mazda are stopping the production of their cars for Canada in the US! 🚗🇨🇦🛡️
B: Whoa, really? Why is that? 😮

A: Exactly! They don't want to bear the brunt of those extra costs when sending cars from the US to Canada. 🛄💰
B: I see, smart move on their part. Which models are they halting production for? 🤔
A: Nissan has stopped making three models in Tennessee and Mississippi. It's mostly big SUVs. As for Mazda, it's also paused some Canadian models at its Alabama plant since May. Plus, it switched lines to make cars for the US market instead. 🇦🇪🇨🇦
B: Wow, that's quite a change! I hope everything gets sorted out soon between the two countries. 🤞
A: Me too! Nissan officials are hoping for a tariff agreement between the US and Canada. And Mazda will consider adjustments while closely watching the negotiations. 🤝️🗺️
