The Daily Wire reports that Toyota\u2019s $3.6 billion investment will add a second assembly line, create up to 2,000 new jobs by 2030 and increase annual production capacity by 150,000 vehicles.<\/p>\n

\nTexas Governor Greg Abbott celebrated the announcement, saying, \u201cThis Texas-sized investment reflects the strength of our workforce and the unmatched business advantages found only in our state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abbott added, \u201cSupported by the Texas Enterprise Fund and JETI program, this expansion will deliver economic opportunities to generations of San Antonio families and further cement Texas as the premier destination for world-class advanced manufacturing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) President and CEO Ted Ogawa called the investment \u201ca testament\u201d to the company\u2019s confidence in the region\u2019s workforce, innovation and long-term growth potential.<\/p>\n

Ogawa explained, \u201cBy expanding our San Antonio plant, we are deepening our commitment to American manufacturing, creating meaningful and sustainable jobs, while advancing our mission to deliver high-quality vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers today and into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toyota had previously built the Tacoma midsize truck in San Antonio before shifting production to Mexico as part of a broader truck and SUV production realignment.<\/p>\n

According to USA Today, the expansion will be adding 2.5 million square feet to Toyota Texas, bringing Toyota\u2019s total investment in San Antonio to $8.3 billion since 2003.<\/p>\n

President Trump weighed in on Toyota\u2019s announcement Tuesday in a post on Truth Social, writing: \u201cToyota is moving from Mexico to the United States (Texas!). A really big deal. Tariffs at work!\u201d<\/p>\n

The president has previously argued that tariffs would encourage companies to shift production to the U.S. while imposing tariffs on imported vehicles, auto parts, steel and aluminum as part of his broader trade agenda.<\/p>\n
