WASHINGTON,: Honda Motor Co said yesterday that supply chain issues will force a halt to production at a majority of United States and Canadian auto plants for a week.

The Japanese automaker added the issue will result in some production cuts next week at all US and Canadian plants, citing “the impact from Covid-19, congestion at various ports, the microchip shortage and severe winter weather over the past several weeks”.
