"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% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States."
"on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands."
President Trump proposed imposing a 100% tariff on films made outside the United States, saying it would help rejuvenate domestic film production. The proposal lacks details on implementation and elicited skepticism within Hollywood. The White House did not immediately comment. A prior May announcement authorized the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative to begin the tariff process, which surprised studio executives. California Governor Gavin Newsom offered to work with the White House to create a federal film tax incentive as an alternative. California lawmakers emphasized federal film tax incentives and warned that tariffs could raise consumer costs and have unintended consequences.
