The Japanese auto giant Toyota Motor has denied Donald Trump’s suggestion that it is poised to invest more than $10bn in the United States over the coming years.
On a visit to Japan earlier this week, the US president claimed he had been told that the carmaker was going to be setting up factories “all over” the US “to the tune of over $10bn”.
“Go out and buy a Toyota,” added Trump.
But a senior executive at Toyota – the world’s largest automaker – said that no such explicit promise of investment at that level had been made, although Toyota plans to invest and create new jobs in the US.
The firm held talks with Japanese and American officials ahead of Trump’s visit.

Best in the world all the "sirs with tears running down their cheeks" are saying. 
I'll take it from there. My people are idiots, they believe what I say and walk around repeating it as proof they voted for the right guy.
…while the plants are under construction.
As was done to a South Korean Hyundai battery plant in Georgia in September this year. Raided by ICE, seized 475 workers who were putting it all together. I’m sure all those Georgians who were hoping to get a job there are looking at the unfinished facility and asking themselves if this is really the MAGA they wanted. 
Trump’s insanity, and that of Musk, Miller, and all the rest of his administration — it’s demolishing every shred of our credibility and our ability to recover when they’re gone. Everything, everywhere, all at once. 
and the US will get 90% of the profits. That works out to about $4000 per person in Japan, for almost no return on investment
