Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. President Trump is set to impose a 25%

tariff on cars and parts made outside the U.S. starting this week.

And here's Luke Garrett reports, it's expected to increase sticker prices

across the country, but the largest auto union is celebrating the plan.

United Auto Workers President Sean Fain tells CBS News he supports Trump's auto tariffs.

Tariffs aren't the total solution. Tariffs are a tool in the toolbox to get these companies

to do the right thing.

Fain hopes companies will bring workers back to U.S. manufacturing plants in response to the duty on foreign-made cars and parts.

I've had companies tell us point blank that they're going to have to bring product back here if those tariffs are implemented.

But some analysts say automakers may not be able to make those changes to scale up U.S. production so easily.

Despite his agreement with Trump on tariffs, Fain criticized President Trump for signing an executive order last week that seeks to end collective bargaining for many federal workers.
