Stellantis sees greater tariff impact

The car company behind the brands Vauxhall, Jeep and Fiat says US President Donald Trump's tariffs have already cost it €300m (£259.6m, $349.2m). Stellantis said the financial hit was a result of tariffs impacting trade and the company's loss of planned production in its response to the them.
The Trump administration’s tariffs are hitting companies that do business in the United States. But prices haven’t reflected them yet in many cases.
“A world with tariffs is unacceptable for us,” Beato said. “A world with tariffs puts our plant in a vulnerable position, even more so than it is now, and not only for our plant, but all of southern Ontario and the whole auto industry.”
General Motors was the second auto company this week, after Stellantis, to show the toll that President Trump’s trade policies are taking on the industry.
