Nissan considers Foxconn EV output to save Oppama plant from closure, sources say
TOKYO :Japan's Nissan Motor is in talks to allow Taiwan's Foxconn to use one of the automaker's domestic factories to build electric vehicles, said two people familiar with the matter, a deal that could save the plant from closure. Reuters reported in May that Nissan was considering closing its Oppama plant, in the port city of Yokosuka south of Tokyo. CEO Ivan Espinosa has announced sweeping restructuring plans aimed at turning around the struggling automaker, including closing seven of Nissan's 17 factories globally and reducing its workforce by some 15 per cent. Allowing electronics manufacturer Foxconn to produce its own EVs at Oppama could avert plant closure, mitigating the impact of restructuring on the plant's 3,900 employees and suppliers, the people said, declining to be identified. The discussions were first reported by the Nikkei business daily late on Sunday. Nissan in a statement said the Nikkei report was not based on information released by the automaker. A Foxconn spokesperson did not respond to a Reuters' request for comment. Kyodo News reported separately on Monday that Foxconn was considering a plan to acquire a portion of the Oppama plant. In May, Nissan's junior partner Mitsubishi Motors signed a memorandum of understanding with a Foxconn subsidiary for the Taiwanese firm to supply it with an EV model.

China says BRICS not seeking 'confrontation' after Trump tariff threat
BEIJING: China said on Monday (Jul 7) that BRICS, the grouping that also includes Brazil, Russia and India, was not seeking "confrontation" after United States President Donald Trump vowed to impose an extra 10 per cent tariff on countries aligning with the bloc. "Regarding the imposition of tariffs, China has repeatedly stated its position that trade and tariff wars have no winners and protectionism offers no way forward," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said. Trump said he would send the first tariff letters to various countries on Monday, days before his deadline for trading partners to reach a deal expires. He said on Sunday he would send a first batch of up to 15 letters, warning that US levies on imports would snap back to the high levels he set in April if countries failed to make agreements. And, in a post on his Truth Social network, he threatened a further 10 per cent tariff on countries aligning themselves with the emerging BRICS nations, accusing them of "anti-Americanism" after they slammed his tariffs at a summit in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. Conceived two decades ago as a forum for fast-growing economies, BRICS has come to be seen as a Chinese-driven counterbalance to US and Western European power. However, Beijing defended the grouping on Monday as "an important platform for cooperation between emerging markets and developing countries". "It advocates openness, inclusivity and win-win cooperation," Mao said. "It does not engage in camp confrontation and is not targeted at any country," she said.
