Trump announces 100% tariff on movies made outside US

In a surprising move, U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed plans to impose a 100 percent tariff on movies produced outside the United States.

The announcement was made on Monday through a post on his Truth Social platform, where he accused foreign countries of “stealing” from America’s movie industry.

According to Trump, the measure is aimed at protecting Hollywood and boosting domestic film production by discouraging reliance on international content.

Mr Trump stated that other countries were stealing the movie-making business from America, like “stealing candy from a baby.”

“Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing “candy from a baby.” California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit!

“Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100 per cent Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT,” he said.

This tariff would mark the first time the US has applied one to a service rather than a raw good.
