Toyota Motor Corp. is going to ship three models produced in America to Japan next year, the Japanese auto giant’s latest gesture designed to indulge US President Donald Trump.

The Camry sedan, Highlander sport utility vehicle and Tundra pickup truck will go on sale in Japan from 2026, Toyota said Friday in a statement. The vehicles are produced in Kentucky, Indiana and Texas, respectively.
