Expect less competition and higher prices

Really? I thought the competition these days was coming from China, not from Nissan

Problem is - Chinese cars don't make it to us. Because tariffs.

So end result is less competition on us market and higher prices.

Didn't you mean Japan? Nissan isn't a country.

Trump's tariffs are going to cause higher prices. I hardly think going from 40 auto companies to 39 will make much of a difference. Especially, compared to the problem I mentioned.
