Donald Trump has announced 100% tariffs on all foreign-produced films entering the U.S., citing concerns over propaganda, security threats, and loss of domestic film production. In a Truth Social post, he claimed the American movie industry is "dying fast" as other countries lure filmmakers with incentives. Calling it a national security issue, Trump directed the Commerce Department and U.S. He directed the Trade Representative to enforce the tariffs, emphasizing his call: “It’s time to bring filmmaking back home to America!”

This move follows China’s restriction on Hollywood imports and may impact major production houses that film abroad for tax benefits. With ticket sales declining and streaming on the rise, the industry could face setbacks if these tariffs have negative effects.
