President Donald Trump has announced plans to meet with stakeholders from the film industry to discuss his proposed 100% tariffs on foreign films. According to reports from Variety, Trump stated, “I want to make sure they're happy and I’m not looking to hurt them.” This statement underscores his intent to protect and bolster American filmmaking without damaging the industry he claims he cherishes.
Trump unveiled his idea via social media, notably on Truth Social, asserting that Hollywood’s contribution to the economy has been limited, despite its cultural prominence. The White House has clarified that no final decision has been made, emphasizing that all options are under review to safeguard U.S. economic interests while trying to make Hollywood great again.
