Automobile giant Stellantis Group said it decided to lay off 900 employees at five US factories and suspend production operations at two assembly plants in Canada and Mexico due to the serious impact of the tariff policy introduced by the Trump administration on the industry. The Chrysler assembly plant in Windsor, Canada will suspend production from the 7th to the 21st of this month. The plant has about 4,000 employees. The Jeep assembly plant in Toluca, Mexico will also be shut down for about a month. The analysis points out that automobile production in North America is highly integrated, and a single component may cross the border between the two countries many times. The scope of the tariffs in force this time includes parts in addition to complete vehicles, so the shutdown of factories in Canada and Mexico also affected Stellantis's powertrains and stamping plants in the US. About 900 workers stopped work.
