U.S. Midterms: Automakers Await Clarity on Tariffs and Subsidies

The Democratic victory in the November 2026 U.S. midterm elections leaves the automotive industry facing uncertainty over the evolution of customs duties and electrification subsidies, both in the United States and in markets that depend on them. Donald Trump's plans on trade and support for electric vehicles encounter new obstacles, without the precise consequences having been established yet. In Tokyo, Toyota, Nissan and Honda shares jump in anticipation of a softening of trade policy. In Canada, Stellantis employees in Windsor say they are cautiously optimistic, while analysts question the future of the USMCA and its effects on the North American automotive industry in 2027, particularly for Mexico.
