Mazda Motor Corp. will pause exporting one model type to Canada that it makes in the US as a temporary countermeasure to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, a spokesperson said Friday.

The Japanese automaker will halt production of CX-50 sport utility vehicles destined for Canada at its Alabama plant effective May 12. Production of the CX-50 for markets outside of Canada will continue. The move was reported earlier by Nikkei.
