It seems like US is not in a good relationship with German automakers since Donald Trump was elected as the new president.

Trump has issued similar warnings, via Twitter, to Ford, GM and Toyota. But ...

The decision was not in response to Trump's remarks made in a recent tweet, but was part of Toyota's business strategy to invest in the U.S., where it has 10 plants in eight states. Planning ...
The F-series, best known for the popular F-150, has been America’s best-selling truck for the 40 consecutive years since its launch.
