Critics Slam Trump's 100% Tariffs On All Foreign Movies Over 'Dying' Hollywood
Hollywood PixabayPatrickBlaise Trump said the incentive offers from other countries were 'a national security threat' He said other countries were stealing American 'movie making capabilities' Some X users criticized the new tariffs, saying they will only be a burden to American moviegoers President Donald Trump on Sunday announced 100% tariffs on all foreign movies coming into the United States as he attempts to save what he said was a "dying" American movie industry. For Trump, the supposed incentive offer of some countries to draw out American filmmakers and studios out of home turf was "a concerted effort" and therefore is "a national security threat," as per his Sunday post on Truth Social. Trump Wants 'Movies Made in America' The Republican strongman went on to accuse nations recruiting American film talent of engaging in "messaging and propaganda," which is leading Hollywood and the broader American movie industry toward "a very fast death." He then authorized the Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to immediately begin processing the institution of 100% tariffs on "any and all movies coming into our country that are produced in foreign lands." Speaking with reporters outside the White House later in the day, Trump explained that other nations "have been stealing" the country's "movie making abilities," reiterating that he did "very strong research" to come to such a strong conclusion that the U.S. is now producing very few films. "Hollywood is being destroyed. You have a grossly incompetent governor that allowed that to happen... Other nations have stolen our movie should have a tariff on movies that come sort of a threat to our country in a sense" - Pres. Trump on movie tariffs — Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) May 5, 2025 Critics Call Out New Tariffs Many X users criticized Trump's plan to levy new duties on movies produced outside the country, with most reiterating that the costs will be on the American taxpayer once more. "This will significantly raise the price of movie tickets and help put movie theaters out of business," wrote podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen. Trump just announced he is imposing a 100% tariff on 'all movies that are produced in foreign lands.' This will significantly raise the price of movie tickets and help put movie theaters out of business. — No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen (@NoLieWithBTC) May 5, 2025 American journalist James Surowiecki said no law gives the president the power or authority to impose tariffs on films made overseas, and more importantly, the local film industry's situation is "not an economic emergency." He urged studios to "immediately sue" if Trump carries on with his plan to impose duties on foreign movies. There is no law that gives Trump the power to impose tariffs on movies made abroad. It's not an economic emergency. It doesn't constitute a plausible threat to national security. I have no idea if he's really going to do this, but if he does, every studio should immediately sue. — James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) May 5, 2025 Yashar Ali, another U.S. journalist, noted how many American films are actually filmed in other countries such as Canada and eastern Europe "due to tax incentives and product costs overall." One user questioned why Trump needed to be "punitive" instead of making counteroffers or better incentives for filmmakers, given how making movies is already expensive as it is. Trump has yet to address concerns over the impact his tariffs will have on moviegoers and the broader American film industry. © Copyright IBTimes 2024. All rights reserved.

影/佛州機場驚魂！達美航空起飛前「引擎突起火」 294人軟腳急逃
美國又發生飛安意外！當地時間21日上午，佛州奧蘭多機場一架達美航空客機，起飛前引擎突然著火，全機共294人透過充氣滑梯緊急疏散，這也是達美航空今年以來第3起飛安事故。 據外媒綜合報導，聯邦航空總署（FAA）發聲明指出，這架原定前往喬治亞州亞特蘭大的達美航空班機，於東部時間21日上午11點15分左右離開登機門後，其中一個引擎突然起火。 社群媒體上流傳的影片顯示，飛機後半部引擎冒出火焰與濃煙。隨後的影片中可見，跑道上的工作人員協助乘客撤離飛機。 該架客機機型為空中巴士A330，機上包括282名乘客、10名空服員與2名飛行員全數撤離，並被帶往機場航廈。 FAA證實，火勢已被控制並撲滅，無人受傷。 達美航空隨即發聲明表示，「當空姐發現其中一具引擎尾部有火焰時，依照標準程序進行了客艙疏散」，達美航空也將派維修人員檢查飛機，以釐清起火原因。 近期美國重大飛安事故不斷。今年1月，一架美國航空客機在雷根華盛頓國家機場（Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport）降落時，與一架軍用直升機發生碰撞，造成67人喪生。 Delta Airlines plane caught on fire in Orlando on on the plane had to be still practices DEI.(No sound) — Paul A.
