On Monday, President Donald Trump declared a 100% tariff on foreign-produced films, calling it a response to the decline of the U.S. film industry. The move, described as necessary to protect national interests, comes after global competition for filmmakers has intensified, particularly from countries offering incentives to Hollywood studios. This measure is seen as part of Trump’s broader trade war strategy.
