Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a 100% tariff on all movies made outside the United States, calling it a move to protect the American film industry. Posting on Truth Social, Trump said foreign countries are offering incentives to attract U.S. filmmakers, which he called a “national security threat” and a form of “propaganda.” He said he wants movies to be “made in America again.”
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the plan, but no details have been shared on how the tariff will work. Experts warn the move could hurt Hollywood more than help it, as other countries may retaliate. Film production in Los Angeles has already dropped nearly 40% in the past decade due to rising costs and recent wildfires.
