Canada threatens Stellantis with legal action over Brampton plant sale

Canada has served auto giant Stellantis with a formal notice of default, warning of potential legal action if the company does not address concerns within 30 days. The dispute stems from Stellantis's decision to shift Jeep production plans to the United States amid trade tensions and sell the idled Brampton, Ontario assembly plant to Roshel. Canadian officials criticized the move as a betrayal of local workers and a violation of federal funding agreements, stating the company owes hundreds of millions of dollars. While Stellantis has agreed to return $24 million in federal subsidies and work with unions, the standoff highlights ongoing economic friction between the two nations regarding automotive manufacturing.
