Trump Proposes 100% Tariff on Foreign Films Amid U.S. Industry Decline
President Donald Trump has declared the U.S. film industry in rapid decline, attributing its struggles to foreign incentives luring filmmakers abroad. He framed the issue as a national security concern, citing propaganda risks alongside economic damage.
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death," Trump stated. "Hollywood and other production hubs face devastation as other nations strategically weaken our cultural output." The proposed 100% tariff marks an aggressive response to what he characterized as coordinated foreign competition.
