TOKYO, March 17 (Reuters) - Honda Motor ( HMC ) will

procure batteries for its hybrid vehicles from Toyota Motor's ( TM )

plant in the United States in an effort to reduce

tariff risks under the Trump administration, the Nikkei

newspaper reported on Monday.

From fiscal 2025, Honda ( HMC ) will take in Toyota's ( TM ) U.S.-made

batteries for about 400,000 vehicles, which will be enough for

all of its hybrid cars it sells in the country, the Nikkei said.
