You're not quite right with that statement. Jeep is actually owned by Stellantis based in the Netherlands.

I'd argue the contribution the sale of a Trackhawk has to American jobs and economy is on par with the sales of an X3M.

Also, don't forget that BMW also exports a significant amount of those cars (X3-X7) internationally, creating even more US jobs. I don't believe Jeeps international presence is anywhere close to the BMW SUV's.
