This resulted in a squeeze of rare earth exports to Western manufacturers.
"We're all fine for June," Stellantis' Jean-Philippe Imparato said during an automotive event in Turin, Italy.
"But, let me tell you, we have spent some tough hours" on managing the whole situation, he added, without elaborating.
