NEW YORK — Mitsubishi Motors has halted shipments of finished automobiles to U.S. dealerships as it waits to see what comes next after the Trump administration imposed an additional 25% tariff on imported autos.

The Japanese automaker has not stopped exporting vehicles from Japan, but has decided to suspend deliveries of new vehicles to its 330 American sales companies. Mitsubishi does not have any factories in the U.S., so all vehicles sold in that market are imported from Japan and elsewhere.
