US President Donald Trump on Sunday announced a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the country.

Trump said he was authorizing the relevant government agencies, such as the Department of Commerce, to immediately begin the process because the American movie industry was dying a “very fast death” due to the incentives that other countries were offering to lure filmmakers.

“This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda,” Trump said on Truth Social.
