WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump says Toyota is moving production from Mexico to Texas because of his tariffs.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Toyota is moving from Mexico to the United States (Texas!). A really big deal. Tariffs at work! Trump”

Trump made the claim on truthsocial on July 7, 2026 at 7:21 AM EST. The automaker is shifting most of its Tacoma midsize pickup truck production from Mexico to its San Antonio, Texas, manufacturing plant (see washingtontimes.com). The move follows recent changes in North American trade rules and tariff policy that have reshaped where carmakers build vehicles (see cbsnews.com).

Toyota’s decision adds to a series of manufacturing announcements tied to the administration’s trade agenda (see japantimes.co.jp). Industry coverage has framed the relocation as part of a broader push to bring auto assembly back to the United States (see channelstv.com).
