President Donald Trump announced on Sunday a 100% tariff on movies produced outside of the United States, saying the US movie industry was dying a “very fast death” due to the incentives that other countries were offering to draw American filmmakers.
“This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Trump said he was authorizing the relevant US government agencies such as the Department of Commerce to immediately begin the process of imposing a 100% tariff on all films produced abroad that are then sent into the United States.
Trump added: “WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!”
Neither Lutnick nor Trump provided any details on the implementation. It was not immediately clear whether the move would target production companies, foreign or American, producing films overseas.
Film and television production in Los Angeles has fallen by nearly 40% over the last decade, according to FilmLA, a non-profit that tracks the region’s production.
Meanwhile, governments around the world have offered more generous tax credits and cash rebates to lure productions, and capture a greater share of the $248 billion that Ampere Analysis predicts will be spent globally in 2025 to produce content. ***

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Because we all know that Hollywood doesn’t put out leftist propaganda. Hollywood is a national security threat.
Talk about losing the plot.
Hollywood is dying because it needs to die.
Yeah.
Who the hell cares if the trash offshore themselves.
Good riddance.
Nice try Don, but…nobody there is gonna support you because you did this for them.
Let the garbage take itself out.
Tax French Art House movies at 1000%.
Next.
100% tariffs on foreign vacations.
Yeah. He should tariff hollywood at 100% until they make something worth watching that isn’t full of commie ideology and girl bosses.
The UK offers major tax incentives for making movies there.
Hollyweird spent over £5 billion in the UK last year.
That money helps prop up the Deep State that helped ours go after Trump, steal an election, and install the POTATUS.
That’s why Trump cares.
And so should you.
I don’t think that’s going to fix this rogue industry. Until they get rid of the wokeness and all the demonic pedophilia, anti-Americanism, anti-Conservative, DEI BS, Hollywood will not be a viable industry.
Perhaps if some entity comes along and starts producing quality movies again, without the woke messaging, movie making in the US can recover.
Trolling motor engaged.
Disney’s Bob Iger, the guy tanking the company, got his KBE for very good reason...
Tennessee also offers major tax incentives.
So what?
Corny Carney ain’t going to like this.
Actors: babababababa urp ba baba bababa urp!!!(cognitive dissonance)
...like when having a really nice conversation with someone then seeing a maga hat fall out of their backpack.
Because last I checked TN is part of the US and the UK is not.
Duh, dude.
“Nice try Don, but…nobody there is gonna support you because you did this for them.”
His time and effort would be better spent on other matters.
Neither are the people who installed him and Two Tier Free Gear Keir.
In fact, that may explain the expression on Starmer’s face during the parade this morning.
If so...
Goody.
Those are fighting words
