Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the president of Honda Canada has told him a report that the automaker is considering shifting some Canadian production to the United States in response to tariffs is inaccurate.

Japan’s Nikkei financial newspaper says Honda is looking to shift enough Canadian CR-V and Civic production to the U.S. so that it can meet 90 percent of U.S. sales with vehicles produced there, up from its current level of about 70 percent.
