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.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
