US EditionTrump film tariffs to be part of UK-US trade talks
- The UK government announced that film tariffs will be included in ongoing trade talks with the US amid concerns over new US tariffs affecting British film production.
- This development follows US President Donald Trump's proposal of a 100 percent tariff on foreign films, which risks impacting two-thirds of the UK's film sector and thousands of jobs.
- The UK film industry, employing over 195,000 people, is still recovering from pandemic delays, while US officials view foreign incentives for film production as a national security threat warranting protective measures.
- A White House spokesperson said no final tariff decisions exist but emphasized the administration's goal to protect national economic security and 'Make Hollywood Great Again.'
- If implemented, the tariffs could significantly disrupt UK-US industry relations and the UK film market, potentially affecting up to 65 percent of UK film production spending linked to US studios.
