The Nissan plants in Mexico appear to build the low priced sedans, Sentra and Versa, for the US, as well as other models for Latin America. The larger, more profitable, models, are built in their three plants in the US. So the Trump tariffs would not be devastating to Nissan.
The thinking in another forum I read is that MITI would not allow Nissan to be completely owned by a non-Japanese company. If that is the case, the most likely scenario is the non-Japanese operations being sold off, with US operations most likely going to Hyundai, non-US operations going to a Chinese company, and the Japanese operations staying with the rump Nissan, in Japanese hands.
