Nissan Motor Co. decided to stop selling a pair of Mexican-built Infiniti SUVs in the US market, in response to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on car imports.

New orders for the QX50 and QX55 variants manufactured in Mexico will be paused, the Yokohama-based company said in a statement Friday. It also decided to maintain production of the Rogue model at its plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, partially reversing a previously announced plan to cut output as part of a broad effort to restructure the flailing business.
