Trump threatens 100% prices on foreign manufacturing films, calls Hollywood Crisis a “ national security threat '' '

Donald Trump said the United States will slap a 100% price on all foreign manufacturing films, accusing other countries of Saper Hollywood and using cinema as a propaganda tool. The dramatic announcement came via an article on Truth Social, in which the American president described the state of the American film industry in sudden terms.
“The film industry in America dies from a very rapid death,” said Trump. “Other countries offer all kinds of incentives to remove our filmmakers and studios from the United States. Hollywood and many other areas in the United States are devastated. It is a concerted effort of other nations and, therefore, a national security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, propaganda! ”
“Consequently, I authorize the Ministry of Commerce and the US trade representative immediately starting the institute process a 100% tariff on all the films that enter our country that are produced in foreign countries,” he wrote. “We want films made in America, once again!”
This decision adds another layer to the chaotic trade policies of Trump, who have already sent shock to the world economy. Since his return to his duties, he has placed prices on a wide range of imported goods, including a massive 145% sample on China products. In retaliation, China threw a 125% tariff on American exports, fueling a trade war that disrupted global supply chains and fears a recession.
The American economic data published last week showed a contraction of 0.3% of GDP in the first quarter of 2025, imports and consumer expenses decreasing. Meanwhile, reservations of ocean containers from China fell by 60%, which led sea companies to cancel up to a quarter of navigations. At the port of Los Angeles, arrivals should drop by 35% while companies interrupt orders in the midst of pricing uncertainty.
Economists blame Trump's erratic commercial tactics for increasing instability. “All this,” said Boston College economist Brian Bethune when he was asked what part of the slowdown could be traced for Trump policies.
Although he claimed that he is negotiating “privileged” agreements with countries like Switzerland, South Korea and Japan, foreign leaders complain of confusion and lack of communication. “There is no coherent strategy,” said Josh Lipsky of the Atlantic Council. “They do not fully understand what the White House wants, or with whom they should negotiate.”
