Following Trump 100% tariffs on foreign-produced films annoucement, the netizens question the controversial decision
1 2 President Donald J. Trump has been making headlines for his bold choices. Since his presidential bell started ringing earlier this year, Trump's unexpected posts have been keeping the world on the edge. 100% tariffs on the films produced outside of America Earlier this week, Trump announced that his government would impose 100% tariffs on the films produced outside the American boundaries, as the US filmmakers are given incentives by other countries to shoot the film there. In the context of propaganda, messaging, and security threats, Hollywood's major production houses that prefer other countries to shoot because of lower taxes are potentially going to face setbacks, according to the CNN report. The internet reacts Shekhar Kapur , a leading Indian filmmaker, expressed on X, stating, "Over 75% of box office of Hollywood films come from outside the US. And significant part of the budget of those films are spent outside the US President Trump's imposition of 100% tarif on all films imported into the US may encourage Hollywood to move outside the US! Quite the opposite of what he intended." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Highest Earning College Majors—2025 Edition Best Paying Degrees | Search Ads Learn More Undo Joseph Carlson, an investment podcaster, woefully shared his views, stating, "There's no way around it, Trump's policies are getting worse and worse by the minute. The movie industry is not dying, it's just transitioning to streaming. A 100% tariff on foreign movies will simply raise the cost of services like Netflix and Prime Video licensing foreign content for US customers. This is just another tax for US customers but now on digital services instead of physical. The ironic part of this is when they originally ran the math of the "trade deficit" they didn't include digital media because the US exports far more than we import. Now we're tariffing industries even where we have a trade-surplus." Another user expressed his concern, stating, " I don't know why I'm even surprised at what comes out of this twats mouth anymore, but this is so f--king stupid. Putting a 100% tariff on films produced outside of this country will (unsurprisingly) solve nothing in the film industry." In the concern about Anime content, many fanatics shared their concern. One of the users said, "This is a 100% tariff on ANIME. Do you understand yet???" In the concern about non-American video games, the fans started questioning the duration till the 100% tariffs are imposed on the video games as well. One of the users noted, "Can't wait for the Steam game Tariffs for Americans. 100% tariffs on non American Games for Americans." A user defended Trump by stating, "President trump is right to call foreign films a national security threat. It's not just about movies—it's about influence, culture, and control. A 100% tariff protects American minds, American values, and American jobs. Made in America isn't just a slogan—it's a shield."
