The brief
Automakers continue to show resistance to moving production to the United States following one year of tariffs, according to CNN. However, some shifts are underway, such as Toyota moving its Tacoma production line to San Antonio and expanding its Texas plant.
Coverage from Yahoo Finance and CNN highlights this tension between general industry resistance and specific corporate actions. Meanwhile, the New York Post reports on a California company bringing jobs back from Mexico, and CTV News notes that experts predict a manufacturing exodus from Canada as companies move beyond a 'wait and see' phase.
Future developments center on whether other automakers follow Toyota's example in Texas or if the broader industry resistance persists despite the tariff environment.
