Trump announces 100% tariff on foreign-made movies
By Elisabeth Buchwald | Sept 29, 2025
https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/economy/trump-movie-tariff
President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday he will be imposing a 100% tariff “on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”
Trump did not specify when or how the tariff could be enacted.
If Trump follows through with his threat, it would mark the first time he’s essentially imposed a tariff on a service rather than a good.
The president initially threatened a 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies in May, arguing that other countries offer tax incentives that have drawn filmmakers abroad. In his post on Monday, he singled out California, saying the state “has been particularly hard hit!”
The state, meanwhile, has proposed and put in effect many tax incentives, as have other American cities.
Hollywood was completely caught off guard when Trump first previewed the tariff in May. “On first blush, it’s shocking and would represent a virtually complete halt of production,” one industry insider told CNN at the time. “But in reality, he has no jurisdiction to do this and it’s too complex to enforce.”
American actors and directors generally prefer to work close to home. But “the fact is, it’s cheaper for Hollywood studios to pay for everyone to get on planes, pay for hotels, because the cost of labor, lack of rebates and the ability to make things overseas is infinitely cheaper,” Jay Sures, vice chairman of United Talent Agency, told CNN in May.
Share of Netflix (NFLX) opened down 1% Monday morning following Trump’s post, while other movie-related companies, including AMC (AMC) and The Walt Disney Company (DIS), opened higher.
Movie ticket sales are down in the United States as the number of major releases hitting theaters has tumbled since the pandemic — and consumers have shifted their viewing habits to streaming platforms to watch at home.
US box office gross topped out at just under $12 billion in 2018 before nosediving to just over $2 billion in 2020, when many theaters were shut down because of Covid. Although theaters have rebounded, the number of releases is about half of what it was in 2019. The total domestic box office gross hasn’t eclipsed $9 billion since.
Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company, has raked in $4 billion in global box office sales so far this year, the first studio to hit that level.
More tariffs in the works
Beyond films, Trump is readying up a slew of other tariffs.
As of Wednesday, the administration is set to impose a 100% tariff on branded drugs, with some exceptions; a 25% tariff on heavy trucks; a 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and vanities; as well as a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture.
In a separate social media post on Monday, Trump said he plans to impose a “substantial” tariff on all furniture imported into the United States.

Democrats burn everything down. Both figuratively and Literally.
Democrats keep losing because they're fucking losers.

Quote:If Trumptards share your attitude toward Democrats, a large number of Democrats will eventually share my attitude that Trumptards are Nazis. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. 6ix, do you remember what happened to the Nazis and Japs during WWII? The Democrats burned them alive in Dresden and Tokyo with firebombs. Krauts and Japs died screaming. That is the future for Trumptards if they can't moderate their absolutely evil ways into acceptable obnoxiousness. Fire will burn the devil Trump out of Trumptards. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast Trump and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name, Trump. Archive it, 6ix. Remember this warning that you are flammable.

Quote:6ix, you will think differently about the danger of not caring once you are soaked with gasoline and set on fire because you are a Nazi. 6ix, save yourself from burning alive by denouncing Trump before it is too late.

GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. He just pleaded guilty to child porn charges.
He was caught sharing hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds.

I'm quivering in my boots over here.

Quote:Cattle are spooked by little things, but I have never seen cattle scared of the slaughter before they died. Yet the cows died. Trumptards are the same beasts. Scared of all kinds of trivial things, but not taking rational precautions against what will eventually kill them. For example, they won't stop smoking until they have emphysema.

I want to check in with trump voters. i have one very genuine question:
it’s been 250 days, now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all —
has your life gotten better? have your groceries gotten cheaper? has your health insurance premium gone down? has your work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier?
has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?
