Automation causes "distress, hurt, and harm" for U.S. workers, Trump says.

Negotiations between dockworkers and management are deadlocked over plans for further automation of ports.

Trump 's vow of support for dockworkers aligns with his campaign promise to safeguard blue-collar workers threatened by global capitalism, experts say.

Trump ’s intervention in this case favors the ILA in its fight against automation, Peter Cole , a professor at Western Illinois University said.

Trump 's opposition to automation risks imposing higher costs on consumers and even some domestic manufacturers, some experts said.

“The assertion that raising tariffs at our ports will force foreigners to cover these costs is beyond naive,” David Autor said.
