Trump Proposes 100% Tariff on Foreign Films, Citing U.S. Industry Decline
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared the American film industry in rapid decline, proposing a 100% tariff on foreign movies to counteract what he describes as a national security threat. Financial incentives from other countries are luring filmmakers and studios overseas, leaving Hollywood struggling.
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death," Trump stated. He framed the issue as extending beyond economics, implicating messaging and propaganda. The proposal comes amid broader debates about cultural sovereignty and economic protectionism.
