Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: Foreign automakers are leaving Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany and South Korea and bringing their car manufacturing back to the United States.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Foreign automakers have manufactured vehicles in the United States for decades, and some companies have recently announced additional U.S. investments. However, the broader trend predates Trump and does not support the sweeping claim that automakers are broadly abandoning Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany and South Korea to relocate manufacturing to the U.S.
