Trump Plans to Impose 100% Tariff on Foreign Movies to Support Hollywood
US President Donald Trump has announced a plan to impose a 100% tariff on foreign films brought into the country. This decision could shake up the entertainment industry.
The proposal, revealed during a recent policy briefing, is aimed at protecting and boosting the American film sector, which he argues has faced tough competition from international productions. If implemented, it would mean any movie made outside the United States would cost double to be imported and screened in American theaters.
Supporters of the move believe it could create more opportunities for homegrown filmmakers, push Hollywood to dominate the local box office, and keep profits within the country. On the other hand, critics warn it could limit movie variety, reduce cultural exchange, and even cause trade disputes with countries that heavily export films to the US.
Hollywood insiders are also split. Some see it as a chance to strengthen American creativity, while others worry that it could isolate the industry from the global market and make international collaborations harder.
