Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States, claiming the move is necessary to protect the struggling American film industry.
He argues that foreign films are contributing to the decline of Hollywood and labels them as 'messaging and propaganda.' Industry experts warn that such tariffs could severely damage international film industries, particularly in the UK, and disrupt global film distribution. The proposed policy is part of Trump's broader trade war strategy and has sparked widespread concern among filmmakers and cultural leaders.
If enacted, the tariffs could reshape the global film market and limit American audiences' access to international cinema.
