Toyota says it will build new car factory in Japan
TOKYO, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor (7203.T), opens new tab said on Thursday it would build a new vehicle factory in its namesake city in central Japan to start operations in the early 2030s. Production models have yet to be decided, the company said in a statement, along with its financial results for the April-to-June quarter. The announcement of a new domestic factory from the world's top-selling automaker comes even as Japanese car sales have been falling due to a shrinking population and declining ownership. The last assembly plant Toyota built in Japan was in 2012. It also comes as President Donald Trump has complained of a flood of Japanese cars flowing into the U.S. and contributing to a massive trade deficit for his country. Among Japanese automakers, Toyota is the top exporter to the U.S., although most of the vehicles it sells there are built locally. Toyota has had a long-standing policy of maintaining annual production capacity of 3 million vehicles in Japan, with roughly half bound for overseas markets.

Trump vowed to end Ukraine war in first 24 hours of his presidency - nearly 200 days in, could he be close?
Seven hours is a long time in US politics. At 10am, Donald Trump accused Russia of posing a threat to America's national security. By 5pm, Mr Trump said there was a "good prospect" of him meeting Vladimir Putin"soon". There had, he claimed, been "great progress" in talks between his special envoy Steve Witkoff and the Russian president. It's difficult to gauge the chances of a meeting between the two leaders without knowing what "great progress" means. Is Russia "inclined" towards agreeing a ceasefire, as Ukraine's president now claims? Is Mr Putin prepared to meet with his Ukrainian foe, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, too? The very fact that we're asking those questions suggests something shifted on a day when there was no expectation of a breakthrough.
