BREAK: Trump Slaps 100% Tariff on Foreign Films to Revive Hollywood

President Donald Trump has announced a 100% tariff on all foreign-produced films in a bold move to revive America’s flagging film industry.

Framing the policy as a necessary act of protectionism, Trump blamed global competitors for “stealing Hollywood jobs” by offering aggressive tax breaks that lure U.S. productions abroad.

The sweeping tariff is expected to impact theatrical releases, streaming content, and possibly even festival circuits, although the final regulatory guidelines remain under development.

Industry leaders have expressed concern about potential retaliation from international markets and the impact on global box office revenues.

Independent cinemas and streaming platforms could face higher costs and fewer options, leading to fears of cultural isolation and reduced diversity in content.

Supporters of the policy argue that it could boost domestic production and restore American dominance in global entertainment.

As Hollywood recalibrates, all eyes are on how this decision reshapes the landscape of international filmmaking and trade.
