Stellantis Moves Jeep Compass Production
Automaker Stellantis is moving production of its Jeep Compass vehicle from Brampton, Ontario to Illinois, USA, due to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

“With an initial production launch expected in 2027, these actions are anticipated to create around 3,300 new jobs (in America),”
said Stellantis in a news release. This move is part of a larger $13 billion investment in America, creating over 5,000 jobs.
