The Guardian Top News｜特朗普宣布后 丰田否认承诺在美投资100亿美元

The US president claimed he had been told the carmaker was going to be setting up factories all over the US

The Japanese auto giant Toyota Motor has denied Donald Trumps 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 C the worlds largest automaker C 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 Trumps visit.

During the first Trump administration, I think the figure was roughly around $10bn, so while we didnt say the same scale, we did explain that well keep investing and providing employment as before, Hiroyuki Ueda told reporters, on the sidelines of the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. So, probably because of that context, the figure of about $10bn came up.

Toyota didnt specifically say that well invest $10bn over the next few years, Ueda said, adding that the topic of investment did not come up when Akio Toyoda, the firms chairman, spoke with Trump at a US embassy event on Tuesday.

Trump met with Japans new prime minister and first female premier , Sanae Takaichi, on Tuesday. He welcomed Takaichis pledge to accelerate a military buildup, while also signing deals on trade and rare earths.

During the visit, Takaichi pledged to realise a golden age in relations with the US and to fundamentally reinforce her countrys defense posture. The two leaders signed an agreement laying out a framework to secure the mining and processing of rare earths and other minerals.

美国总统声称，他被告知这家汽车制造商将在美国各地建立工厂。

日本汽车巨头丰田公司否认了唐纳德·特朗普关于其未来几年将在美国投资逾100亿美元的提议。

本周早些时候访问日本期间，美国总统声称他被告知这家汽车制造商将在美国各地建立工厂，投资总额超过100亿美元。

“去买辆丰田车吧，”特朗普补充道。

但丰田汽车公司——这家全球最大的汽车制造商——的一位高管表示，尽管丰田计划在美国投资并创造新的就业机会，但并未做出如此明确的投资承诺。

该公司在特朗普到访前与日美官员举行了会谈。

上田博之在东京日本移动展的场边对记者表示：“在特朗普第一届政府期间，我记得投资规模大约是100亿美元。虽然我们未明确承诺同等金额，但确实说明会维持既往的投资和就业创造力度。”他补充道：“可能正是基于这样的背景，才出现了约100亿美元这个数字。”

丰田汽车并未明确表示‘未来几年将投资100亿美元’。”植田补充道，当公司董事长丰田章男周二在美国大使馆活动上与特朗普交谈时，并未提及投资话题。

特朗普于周二会见了日本新任首相、首位女性领导人高市早苗。他对高市早苗加快军事建设的承诺表示欢迎，同时双方还签署了贸易和稀土相关协议。

访问期间，高市早苗承诺将实现与美国关系的“黄金时代”，并“从根本上强化”日本的国防态势。两国领导人签署了一项协议，确立了保障稀土及其他矿产开采和加工的框架。
