Stellantis says there will be no effect on employment at the Windsor facility.
Dodge CEO Matt McAlear says the company will focus on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, the addition of a new four-door Charger model for the 2026 model year and the new Charger Sixpack models that will launch in the second half of the year.
The postponement at the Stellantis plant comes as automakers work to adapt to the U.S. tariffs on the sector.

Trump announces more trade deals as deadline looms for higher tariffs on Canada
WASHINGTON – U.S. President Donald Trump announced more trade deals this week as his deadline for Canada and the United States to negotiate a new economic and security partnership draws closer. Trump said Tuesday that the United States had made deals with Japan and the Philippines. The White House also provided more information on the framework of a deal with Indonesia that Trump had announced earlier this month. The announcements come just over a week before Trump's latest duty deadline, and as pressure mounts on many of America's largest trading partners. Trump has sent letters to multiple nations, including Canada, saying that if no deal is made by Aug. 1, he will impose high tariffs on imports to the United States. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington this week but downplayed expectations of a deal by Trump's deadline. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 23, 2025.

U.S. stocks tick toward another record following a U.S.-Japan trade deal
Specialist Alex Weitzman works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Monday, July 21, 2025. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) NEW YORK — U.S. stocks are ticking toward another record on Wednesday following a trade deal between the world's No. 1 and No. 4 economies, one that would lower proposed tariffs on Japanese imports coming to the United States. The S&P 500 was 0.4 per cent higher in early trading, coming off its latest all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 232 points, or 0.5 per cent, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.3 per cent higher. Stocks jumped even more in Tokyo, where the Nikkei 225 rallied 3.5 per cent after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a trade framework that would place a 15 per cent tax on imports coming from Japan. That's lower than the 25 per cent rate that Trump had earlier said would kick in on Aug. 1. 'It's a sign of the times that markets would cheer 15 per cent tariffs,' said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management. 'A year ago, that level of tariffs would be shocking. Today, we breathe a sigh of relief.' Trump has proposed stiff taxes on imports from around the world, which carry the double-edged risk of driving up inflation for U.S. households while slowing the economy. But many of Trump's tariffs are currently on pause, giving time to reach deals with other countries that could lower the tax rates. Trump also announced a trade agreement with the Philippines on Tuesday. So far, the U.S. economy has seemed to hold up OK despite the pressures on it. And tariffs in place may be having less of an effect than expected, at least when it comes to the prices that U.S. households are paying at the moment. 'The main lesson about tariffs so far is that passthrough to consumer prices is tracking somewhat lower than in 2019,' according to Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle. Tariffs are certainly having an effect, to be sure, as big U.S. companies across industries have been showing through their profit updates in recent days. Hasbro took a US$1 billion, non-cash hit to its results for the spring to write down the value of some of its assets following a review triggered by the implementation of tariffs. It said tariffs have had no impact yet on how much profit it's making from each $1 of its sales, but it expects to see costs ramp during the current quarter. Hasbro's stock fell three per cent even though it reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected, when not including the $1 billion charge. Like the toymaker, Texas Instruments' stock also fell despite delivering results for the latest quarter that were above analysts' expectations. It gave a forecasted range for profit in the current quarter whose midpoint fell a bit shy of Wall Street's. Analysts pointed to some cautious commentary from Texas Instruments executives about how the uncertainty created by tariffs could slow demand. Its stock sank 11.3 per cent. Helping to offset that was a 10.5 per cent jump for GE Vernova. The energy company not only delivered a stronger profit than analysts expected, it also raised its forecasts for revenue from its power and electrification businesses. GE Vernova also said that the inflation it's expecting to see as a result of tariffs may be trending toward the lower end of $300 million to $400 million, net of mitigating actions. Elsewhere on Wall Street, several stocks leaped as traders search for the next 'meme stock' that could ride a wave of online enthusiasm to high prices, regardless of what the company's profits are doing. Krispy Kreme, which came into the day with a 58.4 per cent loss for the year so far, jumped 25.4 per cent. GoPro soared 51.1 per cent. That's even as some other potential meme stocks lost their momentum. Opendoor Technologies, which had more than tripled between the last two Mondays, fell 16.6 per cent. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across Asia and Europe following Trump's announcements of trade deals. Japan's market was the big winner, where a series of automakers gave no public reaction as their stock prices rallied. Japanese companies tend to be cautious about their public reactions, and some business officials have privately remarked in off-record comments that they hesitate to say anything because Trump keeps changing his mind. Elsewhere, Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.6 per cent, and France's CAC 40 gained 1.2 per cent for two of the world's bigger moves. In the bond market, Treasury yields ticked higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.37 per cent from 4.35 per cent late Tuesday. ___ AP business writer Yuri Kageyama contributed. By Stan Choe
