While many productions are increasingly filmed abroad, Trump expressed a desire to discuss these tariffs with industry members to ensure they feel supported. Experts, including A&E Studios' Steven Jaworski, warn about significant declines in U.S. production but are unclear on the actual impact of such tariffs yet to be clarified.
