Trump’s Hollywood movie tariff announcement met with confusion and fear
Trump’s Sunday proposal to impose tariffs on foreign films sparked confusion in Hollywood. By Monday, the White House clarified no final decision had been made.
President Donald Trump’s Sunday night proposal to impose tariffs on movies made outside the U.S. has been met with a mix of confusion and fear by the entertainment industry.
And by noon Monday, White House officials clarified that “no final decisions” had been made and that it was “exploring all options.”
Trump’s initial proposal, posted to Truth Social, called for tariffs “on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands,” citing what he said was the harmful impact of incentives being offered by other countries.
“WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN,” Trump wrote.
Speaking from the Oval Office just before 2 p.m. Monday, Trump said he would be meeting with industry officials to make sure they were "happy" with his tariffs plan.
