US President Announces 100% Tariffs on Foreign Films

In a move that sent shockwaves through the global entertainment industry, US President Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on all foreign-made films, effective immediately. The policy, designed to protect the domestic movie business, marks the first-ever US tariff explicitly targeting cross-border delivery of media services. Industry leaders across Hollywood and foreign studios are bracing for an abrupt reconfiguration of international film distribution, with experts warning of reduced content variety for American viewers and potential retaliatory actions from other countries. The White House claims the decision is crucial for revitalizing the American cinema economy, but critics argue it could precipitate a “trade cold war” in the creative industries
