U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a 100% tariff on all foreign-produced films imported into the United States, claiming the move is necessary to protect the country’s declining film industry.
In a statement posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote:”The film industry in America is dying very quickly.”
He accused other countries of offering generous incentives to lure film producers and studios away from the U.S., leading to a decline in domestic film production.
The announcement, which has yet to be detailed in terms of legal and policy implementation, is expected to spark widespread reactions across the global entertainment industry and could raise tensions in international trade and cultural exchange.
