Former President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on "any and all" movies produced outside the United States. This decision is part of his effort to reclaim Hollywood, which he claims has been "stolen" by foreign countries.
The announcement was made via Trump"s social media platform, where he outlined his intentions regarding foreign-made films. The proposed tariff aims to protect the domestic film industry and promote American-made content.
This move comes amid ongoing discussions about the impact of foreign productions on the U.S. entertainment market. Trump has previously criticized various political figures and policies, including the "Communist ideology" of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, highlighting his focus on American interests in various sectors.
The implications of this tariff on international film collaborations and the broader entertainment industry remain to be seen.
