Trump announces 100% tariff on movies produced outside US
US President Donald Trump announces a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States.
He says he is authorizing the US Trade Representative to process the institution of the tariff because the United States’ movie industry is dying “a very fast death” due to other countries offering incentives to attract filmmakers and studios.
“This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat,” Trump says in a post on Truth Social. “It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!”
