Trump Imposes 100% Tariff on Foreign Films

Author : Sarah Update:May 12,2025

In a surprising move, United States President Donald Trump announced via social media that he plans to impose a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the United States, labeling foreign film production as a "national security threat."

"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death," Trump stated. "Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!"

The feasibility and specifics of such a tariff remain unclear. Many countries, including the UK, Australia, and various European nations, offer tax incentives that make filming abroad financially attractive for international productions.

Additionally, films often shoot in foreign locations to provide audiences with unique and exotic settings. The impact of this tariff on globally popular franchises like James Bond, John Wick, Extraction, or Mission: Impossible, which frequently film in multiple countries, is uncertain. Similarly, movies like the upcoming F1, which are filmed on international race tracks, could face significant challenges.

PlayThe tariff's effect on films currently in production or already completed is also ambiguous. It remains to be seen why television productions are excluded from this policy and what repercussions might arise for American films internationally if other countries retaliate against the tariff.
