“Sept 29 (
Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday he would impose a
100% tariff on all films produced overseas that are then sent into the U.S.,
repeating a threat made in May that would upend Hollywood's global business
model.
The step signals Trump's willingness to extend protectionist trade policies
into cultural industries, raising uncertainty for studios that depend heavily
on cross-border co-productions and international box-office revenue.
"Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America,
by other Countries, just like stealing candy from a baby," Trump said in a post
on his Truth Social.
However, it was not immediately clear what legal authority Trump would use to
impose a 100% tariff on foreign-made films.
The White House did not immediately respond to a
Reuters request for comment
on how the tariffs would be implemented.”
