No, Chrysler and Dodge are Stellantis. Which is Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, Opel and others.

Got you, so do we avoid buying Stellantis cars because am element of the ownership is American? Or because they're based on NL they get a pass?

I'd be inclined to see them as a European company which trades in America, rather than a company with American ownership. The reality is that if you buy a Stellantis European marque in Europe, it's almost certainly made in European factories, designed by European engineers, and the company's corporate HQ functions are also in Europe. If you buy a Ram truck from them, though, it's probably originated from their US operations.
