đš *BREAKING: Trump Declares 100% Tariff on All ForeignâMade Movies* đșđžđŹ
Donald Trump announced via social media that he will *impose a 100% tariff* on every movie produced outside the United States, claiming the U.S. film industry has been âstolenâ by foreign competition.
𧩠Why This Is Wild
- Movies are *largely digital / intellectual property*, not typical physical goods. That makes imposing a tariff legally and technically complex.
- Most modern films are *coâproduced across multiple countries* (editing, VFX, sound, etc.). Determining which ones count as âforeign-madeâ would be messy.
- No clear legal basis or implementation plan was provided. The White House hasnât confirmed how this will work in practice.
đ Immediate Market Ripples
- Shares of *streaming / film companies* like Netflix dipped after the announcement.
- Hollywood and global film industries are confused. The supply chain, distribution deals, and crossâborder rights will all be disrupted.
â ïž What Could Happen Next
- Legal challenges are almost certain â many view this move as overreach into free trade and intellectual property.
- Foreign countries might retaliate with their own tariffs on U.S. media exports.
- Film budgets, release plans, and international licensing deals could be delayed or reshaped to avoid new costs.
This is not just politics â itâs a *shock to a global creative industry*. Some parts may be posturing, but if enforced, it could reshape how and where films are made, distributed, and monetized.
