Stellantis says will temporarily lay off 900 U.S. workers following tariff announcement

DETROIT (Reuters) – Stellantis NV, maker of Ram trucks and Jeeps, said on Thursday it was temporarily laying off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities after President Donald Trump’s tariffs were announced, and temporarily pausing production at an assembly plant in Mexico and in Canada.

The U.S. plants affected are powertrain and stamping facilities. Stellantis’ Windsor Assembly, where the Chrysler Pacifica minivan and Dodge Charger Daytona are made, will be down for two weeks while Toluca Assembly, where the Jeep Compass and Jeep Wagoneer S are made, will be down the month of April, the company said.
