ট্রাম্প বলেছেন টয়োটা মার্কিন বিনিয়োগে 10 বিলিয়ন ডলারের পরিকল্পনা করছে, কিন্তু টয়োটা বলছে যে এটি ঠিক তা নয়
Toyota was quick this week to walk back claims made by President Donald Trump about a purported $10 billion investment in the U.S. by the Japanese automaker. “We didn’t say specifically that we would invest $10 billion in the next few years,” Toyota CEO Hiroki Ueda told reporters in Tokyo during the Japan Mobility Show on Wednesday. While Ueda stressed that the automaker will continue to invest and create jobs in the U.S. over the coming years, it did not offer any explicit commitment to an investment of the scale suggested by Trump—or, indeed, any specific amount. The confusion appears to stem from investments the world’s largest automaker made in U.S. auto plants during the first Trump administration, which concluded in early 2021 and, according to Ueda, totaled around $10 billion. The subject of investment in the U.S. also did not come up when Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda briefly spoke with Trump at an event at the U.S. embassy on Tuesday, Ueda said. The source of this presumed investment promise is, it seems, a game of telephone. On Tuesday, Trump cited the $10 billion figure during a speech aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington during his visit to Japan—and said he had heard about it from Sanae Takaichi, Japan’s newly appointed minister. Fast Company has reached out for comment. However, in a statement to The Hill, Toyota confirmed its commitment to investing in its U.S. operations, without citing an amount. “With nearly $50 billion already invested and 49,000 direct employees across the U.S., this ongoing commitment reinforces our support of American manufacturing, supply chains, jobs and customers,” the statement sent to The Hill said. “More details will follow soon.” Toyota’s shares fell nearly 0.8% on Wednesday.
