Whoopi Goldberg lashes out at Trump's Hollywood tariffs
Briefly

During a segment on "The View," Whoopi Goldberg vehemently opposed President Trump's Hollywood tariff plan, arguing it infringes on creative storytelling and film production. She highlighted the high costs of filming in California, which drive productions to other countries like Canada. Goldberg stressed that the tariffs would restrict filmmakers' artistic freedom and that tax incentives at the state level are crucial for promoting domestic film production rather than imposing tariffs. Trump's decision to propose a 100% tariff on foreign films has raised concerns in the industry regarding its impact on creativity and economic viability.
You can't do that because what that equates to is you're going to tell me how to write the story I want to write if it happens in Europe.
It has always been very expensive to shoot in California. That's why we shoot in Canada. It has nothing to do with why.
The bottom line is, tax incentives. If you want to change, you got to change it in the states.
