US EditionTrump Orders 100% Tariff on Foreign-Made Films, Citing National Security
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump declared that he is directing U.S. Agencies to initiate a full 100% tariff on all films created outside the United States that are imported into the country.
- He made this decision because he believes the U.S. Film industry is suffering a rapid decline as other countries offer incentives to attract American filmmakers abroad.
- Trump directed U.S. Government agencies, including Commerce and the Trade Representative, to start enforcing a 100% tariff on foreign films amid concerns that these imports threaten national security and damage the domestic movie industry.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said, "We're on it," while former official William Reinsch warned retaliation "will kill our industry" and that the national security claim is difficult to justify.
- This tariff could impact global film markets amid ongoing trade tensions, and its effects on the U.S. Industry and international relations remain uncertain.
