    Trump wants movies produced in the US

    US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on foreign films, citing national security concerns and the decline of the American film industry. The measure aims to counter incentives offered by other countries, like Canada and the UK, which attract US filmmakers and studios, leading to reduced production in Hollywood. “We want movies made in the United States!” he insisted.
