# ICYMI: UAW Praises President Trump’s Auto Tariffs

The White House
March 26, 2025

Today, President Donald J. Trump imposed a 25% tariff on foreign automobiles imported into the United States — a continuation of President Trump’s Made in America renaissance.

The move was immediately hailed by the United Auto Workers — one of the country’s largest labor unions — as a “victory for autoworkers.”

“We applaud the Trump administration for stepping up to end the free trade disaster that has devastated working class communities for decades. Ending the race to the bottom in the auto industry starts with fixing our broken trade deals, and the Trump administration has made history with today’s actions. … The UAW and the working class in general couldn’t care less about party politics; working people expect leaders to work together to deliver results. The UAW has been clear: we will work with any politician, regardless of party, who is willing to reverse decades of working-class people going backwards in the most profitable times in our nation’s history. These tariffs are a major step in the right direction for autoworkers and blue-collar communities across the country, and it is now on the automakers, from the Big Three to Volkswagen and beyond, to bring back good union jobs to the U.S.”
