Akio Toyoda hosted the patriotic-themed NASCAR event in Japan with the goal of promotion American car culture in Japan. He also said he wants to work with President Trump to make tariffs a “winner for everyone.” Automotive News has more: With a toothy grin, “Make America Great Again” hat and Trump-Vance T-shirt, Akio Toyoda hosted a star-spangled, barbecued, all-American, NASCAR spectacle at Fuji Speedway in a new charm offensive aimed not only at motorsports fans and diplomats, but possibly also U.S. tariffs. Against the backdrop of global trade tensions, the Toyota Motor Corp. chairman billed the extravaganza, held in conjunction with an endurance race at the Toyota-owned circuit, as an international celebration of car culture and proof of Japan’s love for Motown metal. U.S. Ambassador George Glass accompanied the charismatic Toyota front man at the Nov. 16 event, which showcased a demonstration run of six NASCAR machines specially shipped over for the occasion, with a clutch of star drivers to wow the American flag-waving crowd. The men held court at the starting line, as the Japanese executive popped on a MAGA hat and peeled off his coat to reveal a “Trump-Vance Make America Great Again 2024” T-shirt. Speaking before the event, Toyoda suggested it’s only natural some countries resort to tariffs to protect certain industries. But business leaders, he said, shouldn’t forget consumers. “I’m not here to argue whether tariffs are good or bad. Every national leader wants to protect their own auto industry,” Toyoda said. “We are exploring ways to make tariffs a winner for everyone. The people we want most to be winners are our customers.” The NASCAR run, featuring top drivers Jimmie Johnson, John Hunter Nemechek and Kamui Kobayashi, was more than a motorsports novelty. It is one of several quiet gestures Japan is deploying to signal openness to American car culture and U.S. auto exports at a moment when Japanese carmakers are being battered by tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. Toyoda said his company’s role is to promote the auto industry wherever it does business. “On the ground, we are working to properly nurture this core industry,” he said. “This is a vital vehicle, figuratively speaking, that creates stable employment and sustainable investment for a country.” Days after Akio Toyoda proudly showed his support for President Trump and the MAGA movement, the Toyota company announced a massive $912 investment in U.S. manufacturing. It’s expected to create hundreds of new jobs for Americans. The New York Post broke down the details: Toyota, the second-largest seller of new vehicles in the US behind General Motors, on Tuesday announced its nearly $1 billion investment will ramp up hybrid vehicle production across the Southern US. It’s part of a previously announced plan by the Japanese automaker to invest up to $10 billion in the US by 2030, which President Trump revealed last month. Most of the investments are expected to be completed by 2027. Toyota already leads hybrid vehicle production with more than 51% market share through the third quarter of this year, according to Motor Intelligence data. But the company is looking to further increase manufacturing of hybrid-compatible engines and vehicles at certain American facilities. “Customers are embracing Toyota’s hybrid vehicles, and our US manufacturing teams are gearing up to meet that growing demand,” Kevin Voelkel, senior vice president of manufacturing operations, said in a statement. “Toyota’s philosophy is to build where we sell, and by adding more American jobs and investing across our US footprint, we continue to stay true to that philosophy.” Of the investments announced Tuesday, the largest is $453 million toward Toyota’s Buffalo, W. Va., plant to ramp up the assembly of four-cylinder, hybrid-compatible engines. Another $204.4 million is going toward the automaker’s Georgetown, Ky., plant to increase production of the same engines. Toyota says it is also sending $125 million to expand production of Corolla vehicles and add hybrid vehicle production at its Blue Springs, Miss., factory. The automaker is also investing $71.4 million in its Jackson, Tenn., plant and $57.1 million in its Troy, Mo., facility. The investments are expected to create 252 new jobs, according to Toyota. This is the way! When you partner with Trump, everyone wins.
