Trump White House says ‘no final decisions’ on foreign film tariffs


Officials say administration ‘exploring all options’ after president declared 100% tariff on non-US-produced films

“Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump’s directive to safeguard our country’s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said.
