Donald Trump vows to impose 100 per cent levy on non-US movies

Following the Hollywood studios, tax dollars in the world and solid stage usability, the “Footloose” approach to production.

In his last statement, Trump aims to aim a threat to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who is considered a potential presidential candidate by many people, and thus a threat of Trump as a desire to stay in power far beyond the end of this period.

He described Newsom as “weak and incompetent ve and compared the loss of film and television production from California to other regions“ like stealing sugar from a baby ”.

Any move to bring tariffs to films other than the United States will inflate their production costs and ultimately lead to the fact that these films are seen everywhere they appear in cinema. And this is unlikely that it will be a good move for the theater side.

In addition, unlike the Hollywood films that are partially or completely outside the United States, it would make the cost of really foreign films more expensive.

Many such films go to the United States, but they do little to indicate the sovereignty of studios. According to the 2018 survey by industry analyst Stephen, almost one fifth of the films published in the US between 2003-2017 were made in languages ​​outside English, but the box office share was almost 1 percent. (British, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

However, the real goal of Trump’s tariff action is not foreign films, but to use other countries to make Hollywood’s films.

Trump Trade Chief Jamieson Greer by the guilds, Russell Hollander, Chairman of American directors, and the theater scene employees, moving painting technicians, artists and Allied Handicrafts (IATSE), Matthew D. Loeb, the President of the International Alliance, was unjustly discriminated against the members of foreign countries.

They also complained about regulations such as flow quotas that Australia has not yet done.

“Most of the time, under the guise of the protection of culture, other countries have built trade barriers that have disadvantaged the work of our members and weaken the guards we negotiate in the US,”.

“These countries have turned into non-disadvantaged obstacles for the disadvantage of the work created by our members in the digital market. Flow services, predatory tax regimes, local-content investment obligations and numerous unjust trade implementations limit legitimate access to American content and direct foreign elements for online pirate.”

As a result, our industry has seen a 40 percent decrease in television production in the USA compared to the level of 2022. These trade barriers are upset the ability of the American creative labor force to compete in the global market in a fair way. ”

In May, local filmmakers and agencies were worried, but he was largely cautious about Trump’s reactions to the tariff announcement, many of them hoped that nothing would happen like most of his other statements.

Now he’s still back to the spotlight, and this time a fading to black may be much less likely.
