flag Trump proposes 100% tariff on foreign films, sparking industry concern over costs and legal issues.

flag On October 1, 2025, President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on foreign-made films, citing job losses in the U.S. film industry and accusing other nations of undermining American production. flag The proposal, which targets services rather than physical goods, lacks details on enforcement, definitions of "foreign" versus "American" films, or a timeline. flag Industry leaders, lawmakers, and international producers—including from India and New Zealand—expressed concern, warning the tariff could raise costs, disrupt global collaborations, and face legal challenges. flag The move, seen as symbolic amid unclear implementation, reflects broader trade tensions but may have limited practical impact due to the digital and global nature of modern filmmaking.
