Read Original Source
Watch Trump on non-US movie tariffs: 'Hollywood is being destroyed' Donald Trump says he will talk to Hollywood executives, after his earlier announcement to hit films made in foreign countries with 100% tariffs sent shockwaves through the industry. The US president said on Sunday he was authorising the commerce department to start the process to impose the levy because America's film industry was dying "a very fast death".
AI Summary
Main Idea: President Donald Trump said he wants to impose 100% tariffs on films made outside the US, and the Commerce Department has begun the process as Hollywood waits for more details.
Key Points:
- Trump said the move is meant to stop the US film industry from declining and to push more movie production back to America.
- He later said he would meet with Hollywood executives and try to make them happy with the plan.
- The rules are still unclear, including whether they would cover streaming films, American studios filming abroad, or how the tariffs would be calculated.
- The proposal has raised alarm in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the wider film industry, which warns it could hurt jobs and global film trade.
