Stellantis is temporarily laying off nearly 1,000 workers in the U.S. as it pauses production at some plants in Canada and Mexico in response to the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The layoffs affect workers at five plants in Michigan and Indiana, a company spokesperson said.

A Stellantis spokesperson told the publication that the layoffs would impact workers at five Midwest plants, specifically the stamping plants in Sterling Heights and Warren, Michigan, as well as three plants in Kokomo, Indiana, that make transmissions and metal castings.

The carmaker said it would “pause” production at a number of its car assembly plants located in Canada and Mexico, CNN reports. At the same time, the company says that it will lay off 900 hourly workers in the U.

Stellantis has “paused production” at some of its Canadian and Mexican auto assembly plants due to the newly announced tariffs — and as a result, some US workers will also be temporarily laid off.

The US saw one of its largest waves of layoffs in decades, fueled by billionaire Elon Musk's efforts to purge the federal government, as markets fear the financial impacts of President Donald Trump's sweeping new tariffs.
