LOL! On one hand, sure, you could say that: the American companies GM and Chrysler don't have a presence in Europe.

But really what happened is more that they have such a big presence in Europe that they got bought out and are now European themselves. I had already known Fiat bought Chrysler to form FCA, but TIL while researching this response that GM Europe (so just the European subsidiary, not the whole thing) got bought out by PSA Peugeot-Citroen. Then PSA and FCA merged to form Stellantis. So, yeah: Chrysler and GM (in Europe) are not only fully-European companies instead of American-owned ones, they're the same European company. 🪦
