International Insider: Trump’s Tariff Targets; CinemaCon Compiler; Toei Interview
Donald Trump's international tariffs, a report from CinemaCon and an interview with Toei Company feature in this week's International Insider.
On Wednesday, the President announced a tariff policy of a baseline 10% on virtually every nation, claiming April 2, 2025, would be remembered as “the day that we began to make America wealthy again,” calling it “Liberation Day.” Those hit included long-time allies in the UK, Europe and Australia, whose Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese responded by saying, “This is not the act of a friend.” Fair to say few countries were happy and stock markets are shellshocked, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing down almost 1,700 points and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 suffering their worst days since the start of the pandemic. Known for the likes of the Kamen Rider, Super Sentai and Power Rangers franchises, which showcase its trademark tokusatsu ‘live action special effects’ genre, and animes such as One Piece and Dragon Ball, Toei is certainly up there with Oscar-magnet Studio Ghibli. This week, Liz Shackleton scored a major scoop after landing an exclusive interview with Toei Company CEO Fumio Yoshimura for our International Disruptors brand, ahead of his trip to L.A. to meet with Hollywood studios (wonder what Trump will make of that…).
