President Donald Trump lent his office to Japanese automaker Toyota on Monday, saying the company’s announcement of a $1.33 billion investment in its Georgetown, Kentucky plant was evidence that confidence in the economic climate“has greatly improved under my administration.“
„Toyota’s decision to invest $1.3 billion in their Kentucky plant is further evidence that manufacturers are now confident that the economic climate has greatly improved under my administration and echoes the recent National Association of Manufacturers‘ 2017 Outlook Survey showing that 93% of manufacturers are now optimistic, which is an increase of 37% from just a few months ago,“ Trump said in a company press release .
The White House has not responded to TPM’s questions about the statement.
„We’re certainly pleased to get that comment from the President on this, recognizing the significance of this investment,“ plant president Wil James told Bloomberg TV Monday.
