Ontario Premier Doug Ford called for economic retaliation against the U.S. after Stellantis decided to move planned Jeep Compass production from Brampton, Ontario, to Illinois as part of a $13 billion U.S. expansion. Blaming U.S. President Donald Trump, Ford urged tariffs if Prime Minister Mark Carney cannot secure a deal. Carney, who left Washington without an agreement, called the shift a consequence of tariffs; Ottawa warned the company to honor commitments and threatened legal action. Brampton workers, already idled since a 2023 closure, received a robocall as Stellantis touted thousands of U.S. jobs, heightening anxiety across Canada’s auto sector.
