President Trump Says He Will Implement 100% Tariffs on Films Produced Outside the U.S.: ‘The Movie Industry in America Is Dying’

Donald Trump used Truth Social on Sunday to declare that he’s giving permission for the Department of Commerce and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to apply a 100% tax on any films originating from outside the country.
