Isuzu to Build $280M Car Plant in South Carolina as Trump Tariffs Loom

As the auto industry faces uncertainty over potential tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, Isuzu is making a bold move. The Japanese automaker has announced a $280 million investment in a new South Carolina plant, set to begin operations in 2027. The facility will create over 700 jobs by 2028 and manufacture 50,000 vehicles annually by 2030. This decision comes as Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba met with President Trump, discussing economic ties and upcoming U.S. investments from Japanese automakers, including Toyota. Will more automakers shift production to the U.S. in response to trade policies?
