White House Says ‘No Final Decisions’ Made Yet on Trump’s Movie Tariffs, Explores ‘All Options’ to ‘Make Hollywood Great Again’


A White House spokesman said Monday that 'no final decisions' have been made on tariffing films produced overseas.

President Trumpsaid on Sunday that he had authorized the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to initiate steps to impose a 100% tariff on films made overseas. The announcement left several questions unanswered, including how such a tariff would be imposed, what legal basis it would have, and whether it would encompass foreign-produced TV shows in addition to 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,” said spokesman Kush Desai.
