TOKYO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Japan's Toyota Motor ( TM )

did not explicitly promise a new $10 billion investment in the

United States, a senior executive from the Japanese automaker

said on Wednesday, a day after President Donald Trump mentioned

a potential investment of that size.

Speaking during his visit to Japan on Tuesday evening, Trump

said the automaker would be looking to invest around $10 billion

in the United States.

However, Toyota ( TM ) executive Hiroyuki Ueda said no such

explicit promise was made about an investment of that size,

adding that Toyota ( TM ) would continue to invest and create jobs in

America.

Ueda was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Japan

Mobility Show in Tokyo.
