Trump orders 100% tariffs on all movies produced outside the US
ai generated text
US President Donald Trump has announced a 100% tariff on movies produced outside of the country. Trump claims that the American movie industry is dying and that other countries are using cinema as a propaganda tool and offering incentives to attract American film production.
Nobody should be under any doubt that we will be standing up unequivocally for the rights of the Australian screen industry.
We'll have to see the detail of what actually ultimately emerges. But we'll be obviously a great advocate, great champion of that sector in that industry.
We've proven what strong state incentives can do. Now it's time for a real federal partnership to Make America Film Again.
Other nations, a lot of them, have stolen our movie industry.
If they are not willing to make a movie inside the United States, we should have a tariff on movies that come in.
The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death.
Therefore, I am authorising the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.
Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!
There's a desperate need for policy leadership in this area that is aware that Australia needs a sustainable strategy if it's going to keep its screen industry alive.
I don't see any significant impact on the Western Australian film industry.
The President loves the entertainment business and this country, and he will help us make Hollywood great again.
If that pipeline dries up, that will definitely be bad for Australian production or for Australian crews [and] companies that are servicing the production sector here.
If Hollywood studios — including Netflix — are going to be slapped with a big tariff for producing their content in Australia, then they might redirect that production back onshore.
The retaliation will kill our industry. We have a lot more to lose than to gain.
