The pushback by Toyota marks a break from years of attempting to work its way into Trump’s good graces.
Days after drawing criticism from the then-president elect in January 2017 for planning to build Corolla cars in Mexico, Toyota announced a US$10 billion, five-year investment plan. In August of that year, the company said it would join with Mazda Motor Corp in building a US$1.6 billion factory in Alabama.
But all those efforts have done little to curb repeated threats by the White House to impose tariffs of as much as 25% on imported vehicles and auto parts. “Our operations and employees contribute significantly to the American way of life, the US economy and are not a national security threat,” the company said.
