Before the election, Toyota Motor and other Japanese automakers thought

Before the election, Toyota Motor and other Japanese automakers thought a second Trump administration could be good for them.

President Trump had campaigned on dismantling policies aimed at swiftly accelerating the U.S. auto industry’s shift away from изкопаеми горива и към електрически транспортни средства-директиви, че Toyota и други водещи производители на бензинови и хибридни бензинови коли също от дълго време се опълчват.

Toyota подари 1 милион $ на господин Тръмп в незабав cheer.

But as Mr. Trump’s agenda has taken shape, much of that optimism has turned to alarm.

In February, the administration signed an executive order imposing 25 percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, where Toyota and other Japanese companies assemble many of Автомобилите, които те продават в Съединените щати.
