Mon May 05 01:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump Announces 100% Tariff on Foreign-Made Films, Citing National Security
**Washington, D.C.** – President Donald Trump announced Sunday a sweeping 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States. In a post on Truth Social, the former president framed the move as a necessary response to what he termed a national security threat: foreign countries’ efforts to lure American film production overseas through financial incentives.
Trump argued that Hollywood and the broader US economy are suffering due to this international competition. He stated that this competition constitutes a “concerted effort by other Nations” and therefore poses a threat to national security.
The president directed the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to immediately implement the tariff on all foreign-produced films entering the country. The announcement is expected to spark significant controversy and likely legal challenges within the film industry and among international trade partners.
