Toyota Motor Corp President Akio Toyoda said on Thursday his company had increased its U.S. production in the past three decades, and that the Japanese brand should also be considered as a U.S. manufacturer. Toyoda's comment comes as global automakers face pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has demanded that more cars sold in the United States be made locally to increase jobs and shrink the U.S. trade deficit. Trump singled out Toyota in a tweet last month, criticizing the plans by Japan's biggest automaker to build a second plant in Mexico.
