Stellantis, the global automotive giant with major assembly operations in Windsor and Brampton, is temporarily halting production at select Canadian facilities in response to new U.S. tariffs.
The move follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision on April 2 to impose a 25 per cent tariff on imported vehicles, a policy shift that has sparked concern across the auto industry.
Stellantis spokesperson LouAnn Gosselin confirmed the company is actively monitoring the situation and evaluating the potential impact of the new tariffs on its Canadian operations.
“We are continuing to assess the effects of these tariffs on our vehicle imports and will maintain open dialogue with the U.S. administration regarding these recent policy developments,” Gosselin said in a statement.
While the full scope of the production pause has not been detailed, the decision adds to growing uncertainty within the auto sector as manufacturers navigate shifting trade policies between Canada and the U.S.
