A union representing thousands of auto workers in Kansas and Missouri is supporting new tariffs placed on China, Mexico, and Canada by the Trump Administration.

The U.S. automotive industry is expected to face significant challenges due to new tariffs, which could lead to increased costs for both car manufacturing and repairs.

If Trump’s tariff threats materialize, this region of the country, dominated by the domestic auto industry, stands to take as big a hit as anywhere.

The union issued a statement celebrating Trump’s tariffs for reversing free trade policies that harmed workers.

The auto industry has stockpiled inventory to withstand the new tariffs for a few weeks, but anything longer will lead to price hikes, job losses.

Tariffs implemented by the Trump administration may boost prices and reduce vehicle production, an analyst for S&P Global Mobility said Tuesday.

Many in the industry feel that the levies could still be called off. Virtually everyone is hoping that, if enacted, the tariffs will be short-lived. Regardless, uncertainty has already taken its toll.
