WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday announced a bold move targeting the global film industry, declaring plans to levy “a 100% tariff” on all movies produced outside the United States.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his frustration over the state of American cinema, saying, “Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing ‘candy from a baby.’ California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”
