Toyota pledges $10B toward new auto plants in US: ‘Go out and buy a Toyota,’ Trump says

TOKYO — President Trump announced Toyota has promised $10 billion in investments toward new manufacturing plants in the US — urging people to “go out and buy a Toyota” in a wide-ranging speech to sailors aboard the USS George Washington Tuesday in Tokyo Bay.

Trump, who is making trade and economic deals a top goal of his three-nation regional tour, said that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told him earlier in the day that the world’s largest car company would pour funds into American manufacturing plants.

“I was just told by the prime minister that Toyota is going to be putting auto plants all over the United States to the tune of $10 billion. So that’s Toyota — so go out and buy a Toyota,” Trump said aboard the 4.5-acre nuclear-powered ship.

Remember when Toyota walked back it’s comments on “Adjustments” back in July …

… That statement is contrasted by messaging from Toyota earlier this week. Scott Mackenzie, director of corporate and external affairs for Toyota, reportedly told the Globe and Mail that, if potential trade deals fail to remove the auto tariffs, Toyota could be forced to make “adjustments” in Ontario manufacturing.

Videos circulating online show protesters gathering across Japan on Sunday to oppose what they view as as overly lenient immigration policies.

The demonstrations came less than a week after conservative lawmaker Sanae Takaichi was sworn in as Japan’s 104th—and first female—prime minister, following a campaign that tapped into a reservoir of growing anti-immigration sentiment.

The protests underscore ongoing skepticism among Japan’s right-wing circles that Takaichi and her ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will go far enough to address their concerns.

Carney mum on whether he saw Ontario’s own goal anti-tariff ad beforehand … Dougie Ford says he did!

The question of whether or not the prime minister and his chief of staff saw and approved — either directly or tacitly — an Ontario government anti-tariff ad that set off U.S. President Donald Trump followed Mark Carney to Singapore on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister’s Office said there would be no further comment on the television ad, which last week led to the meltdown of sectoral trade negotiations with the United States.

Dougie says you lie Carney!

Ford may have have been lead to believe Carney had no objection to the ad when it was in fact Carney’s desire to use it to scupper any possible deal with Trump or he simply didn’t find it a provocation which makes him dim like Ford.

The treatment of British Jews proves the lie at the heart of multiculturalism

London

If you want proof that multiculturalism is a lie, look no further than the plight of British Jews. Targeted on our streets; threatened and spat upon as they go to and from synagogue; their children’s schools hidden behind prison-like security; seldom able to open their communal newspapers without seeing a report of a fanatic calling for the slaughter of fellow Jews in Israel.

This is Jewish life in the UK today. Only part of it, of course, for there are also the sweet hopes of Rosh Hashanah, the sukkah-building and celebrations of Sukkot, and the lights and latkes of Chanukah. But whatever their level of involvement in communal life, few British Jews live their lives unaware of the grim mood music.
