In a dramatic turn, former U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a 100% tariff on all foreign-made movies, declaring the decline of Hollywood a “national security threat.” 😳
Trump claims that foreign incentives are “stealing” film productions from the U.S., turning Hollywood into a shadow of its former self. His solution? Tax every non-American film that enters U.S. markets—hard.
💥 Is this patriotism or protectionism?
While Hollywood’s box office has seen a recent rebound in 2025, Trump insists foreign-made content undermines American storytelling and soft power. With this move, he’s aiming to bring production—and influence—back home.
🎥 But here’s the million-dollar question:
Will this save Hollywood or start a cultural trade war?
