As Toyota and Mazda begin to scour the U.S. for where to put the first auto assembly plant announced under President Donald Trump, one state looks like a frontrunner: Mississippi. A head-start on a supplier network would be particularly attractive for Mazda, which doesn't have a U.S. plant.

Toyota & Mazda sign partnership; co-develop EVs, produce vehicles in US
