US President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States, a move aimed at protecting the domestic film industry.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday September 29,
“our movie-making business has been stolen from the United States of America by other countries, California has been particularly hard hit.”
The proposed tariff, which would mark an unprecedented shift in U.S. cultural trade policy, has sparked concern across the global entertainment sector.
No timeline or implementation details have been released.
Meanwhile, the White House has yet to issue an official statement.
