My guess is that the headline should read "Jeep capitalizing on Leapmotor JV through $25k badge engineered model for US". The article says nothing about where this magically low cost EV has come from, but I can guarantee that it wasn't from Dearborn.
I don't even think "Jeep" (in quotes because they're no longer a company) have any presence in the US anymore. All of their presence, as far as I know, is in Amsterdam as part of Stellantis.
20 active manufacturing plants + 2 idled/retooling, is a fairly solid US presence.
I work for another one of the 'big 3', have heard mixed things about working for Stellantis; but honestly don't think it would make much difference, if HQ direction came from Amsterdam instead of the Detroit region.
