US EditionTrump Orders 100% Tariff on Foreign-Made Films, Citing National Security
- President Donald Trump ordered a 100% tariff on all foreign-produced movies in a Sunday announcement to revive American film production.
- Trump cited the rapid decline of the U.S. Movie industry, linking it to foreign incentives that attract American filmmakers overseas.
- The tariff decision follows a decades-long drop in Los Angeles production and global competition for film spending, which is forecast at $248 billion in 2025.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said, "We're on it," while William Reinsch warned retaliation "will kill our industry" and that losses may exceed gains.
- The tariff move raises uncertainty about its timing and impact, and experts question its national security justification and potential harm to the U.S. Film sector.
