TSURU, Japan — U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood took a ride Tuesday on the fastest passenger train in the world, a Japanese maglev, as part of Tokyo’s sales pitch for billions of dollars in high-speed train contracts from the U.S.
LaHood said he was impressed with Japanese technology but that that was only part of the equation. He said potential manufacturers need to “come to America, find facilities to build this equipment in America and hire American workers.”
