""That guy, President Trump, he's a real piece of work," Ford said. "I'm sick and tired of rolling over. We need to fight back.""
""Anything short of fulfilling that commitment will be considered as default under our agreements," Joly wrote in a letter to the company chief executive."
Stellantis moved planned Jeep Compass production from Brampton, Ontario, to Illinois as part of a $13 billion investment to expand U.S. manufacturing. Ontario Premier Doug Ford blamed U.S. President Donald Trump and urged retaliatory tariffs if Canada cannot secure a trade deal. Dominic LeBlanc was in Washington negotiating tariff reductions while Mark Carney left without a deal. Carney said the production shift was a direct consequence of tariffs and said the government would work with Stellantis and expects the company to honor commitments to Brampton workers, with federal legal action threatened. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly called the move unacceptable and warned it could constitute default under agreements. The auto sector employs 125,000 Canadians directly and nearly another 500,000 in related positions, prompting concern in Ontario.
