The Teamsters are backing President Trump's plan to impose tariffs on films produced in foreign markets.

Why it matters: The union represents about 20,000 people who work on motion pictures in the U.S.

Driving the news: "The Teamsters support tariffs as part of an aggressive agenda to bring motion picture and TV industry work back to the USA," the union said Tuesday in a social media post.

"If studios want to benefit from American box offices, they must invest in American workers. It's time to create good film jobs by bringing production back to America."
