Toyota Motor will spend $10 billion in U.S. capital investments over the next five years, matching the Japanese automaker's investments over the prior five years, North America chief executive Jim Lentz said on Monday.

The automaker has come under fire from President-elect Donald Trump for announcing in 2015 plans to shift production of its Corolla to Mexico from Canada. Lentz said in an interview at the Detroit auto show the decision is not a response to Trump but part of the automaker's business strategy to invest in the United States, where it has 10 plants in eight states.

Lentz said the planning for the new Mexico plant began about two years - if not earlier - before it was announced in 2015. These are long-term decisions, he said. Lentz said he has not spoken with Trump.

The $10 billion includes Toyota's new North American headquarters in Texas that is under construction and big improvements to its plants.

Lentz said Toyota plans to expand some of its U.S. plants over the next five years, but declined to say if that would boost jobs. Toyota, which currently employs 40,000 in the United States, added more than 5,000 U.S. jobs over the last five years, he said.

Toyota President Akio Toyoda will appear at the show later Monday to tout the company's new flagship Toyota Camry and tout its investment plans.

Lentz said "everyone" agrees with Trump's goals of boosting manufacturing and U.S. employment in part because "it helps us sell more cars... We are all in favor of what he is attempting to do," Lentz said. "We have to run our business as a global business. I have to make sure that we are competitive."
