U.S. President Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 100 percent tariff on all foreign films imported into the country. According to him, this decision is necessary to protect the American film industry.
However, it is not yet clear on what legal basis the tariff will be imposed. The White House and major film companies have not commented on the matter. Experts say this decision could greatly affect Hollywood’s international activities.
According to analysts, the tariff will increase film production costs and this could also make it more expensive for viewers. Large projects filmed abroad may also be at risk.
According to official data, the U.S. film industry exported $22.6 billion worth of products in 2023. The new policy could reduce these figures and complicate international cooperation.
