Former President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the United States, framing the measure as a response to what he called a "National Security threat." In a TruthSocial post, Trump alleged foreign governments are using incentives to lure American filmmakers abroad, prompting immediate action from the Department of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative.

The policy lacks clear definitions—potentially sweeping in content from Japanese anime to Marvel blockbusters with partial overseas filming, like the Malaysia-shot scenes in "Thunderbolts." This ambiguity complicates Trump’s signature tariff-driven trade strategy, which previously targeted industries like steel and aluminum.
