Trump says US to impose 100% tariff on movies made outside the country
September 2025 160 views 2:24President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on all films produced overseas and imported into the U.S., a move that could disrupt Hollywood’s global production model.
Studios increasingly rely on overseas hubs like Canada, the UK, Australia, and post-production work in Asia and Europe. Experts warn that a broad movie tariff could impact thousands of U.S. workers, from visual effects artists to production crews.
Gene Maddaus from Variety explains why movies aren’t like regular goods, making enforcement of such a tariff extremely tricky. Hollywood executives are left uncertain about how Trump’s plan could actually be implemented.
