Trump Imposes 100% Tariff on Foreign Films to Protect Hollywood
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States, citing national security concerns related to messaging and propaganda. The policy, declared via his Truth Social platform, takes immediate effect, though enforcement mechanisms remain unspecified.
The move signals an escalation in Trump’s tariff wars, with no industry appearing exempt from potential trade restrictions. Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative officials will implement the measure under Section 301 trade provisions, targeting what Trump called unfair foreign competition.
