Film industry figures around the world are reacting with alarm after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States.
In a Truth Social post published Sunday night, Trump called foreign productions a "national security threat" and said the U.S. movie industry is "dying a very fast death" due to international competition incentivized by foreign governments. He then authorized the Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to begin implementing the tariffs, claiming that "other nations have been stealing the movie-making capability of the United States" and that "Hollywood is being destroyed."
