In a surprising twist that has movie buffs buzzing, the White House is set to shake up Hollywood with a bold proposal: a 100% tariff on all films produced abroad and imported into the United States. Announced on Monday, May 5 by President Donald Trump, this move marks the latest chapter in the U.S. tariff wars.
Live from Los Angeles, CGTN’s Ediz Tiyansan reported that the measure could reshape the global film landscape. With this tariff, international productions—whether big blockbusters or indie gems—might face a dramatic change in their route to U.S. screens. 🍿🎬
Industry insiders and movie enthusiasts are already debating the potential ripple effects. Could this shift push studios to focus more on domestic productions, or might it spark retaliatory moves from abroad? Only time will tell as the film world gears up for what could be a blockbuster transformation in trade and culture.
