Donald Trump has announced tariffs on movies produced in foreign lands.
Trump said, “Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat.”
He also added, “I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.”
The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!
Trump talked to reporters after the announcement, saying, “Hollywood is being destroyed. You have a grossly incompetent governor that allowed that to happen… Other nations have stolen our movie industry.”
“Hollywood is being destroyed. You have a grossly incompetent governor that allowed that to happen… Other nations have stolen our movie industry…We should have a tariff on movies that come in…That’s sort of a threat to our country in a sense”

Trump later told reporters, “Other nations have been stealing the … movie-making capability of the United States. I said to a couple of people, ‘What do you think?’ I have done some very strong research over the last week, and we are making very few movies now. Hollywood is being destroyed. Now you have a grossly incompetent governor that allowed that to happen, so I am not just blaming other nations, but other nations, a lot of them, have stolen our movie industry. If they are not willing to make a movie inside the United States, and we should have a tariff on movies that come in. And not only that, governments are actually giving big money. They are supporting them financially. So that is sort of a threat to our country in a sense.”
“It’s been a very popular thing. Movie makers love it.”
