Trump announces 100 per cent tariffs on foreign-made films in fresh blow for British industry

Donald Trump promised to hit foreign films with a 100 percent big tariff-with a movement that could destroy the explosion of the exploding film industry.

The US President announced the pressure on Monday, claiming that Hollywood was ‘stolen’ by the rival nations.

‘Our Movieming business was stolen by other countries from the United States, just like stealing sugar from a baby’, angry on real Social.

Trump has long promised to restore Hollywood to ‘Golden Age’ for a long time, and accused the generous tax reductions offered abroad to attract large productions from Los Angeles.

The impact on the UK may be severe with some figures showing that 87 percent of the British film expenditures from the British Film Institute last year – a leap of 78 percent compared to the previous year.

Trump was first called in May as a ‘compliant effort and therefore a national security threat’ to foreign incentives, which emitted this idea.

He doubled on Monday – he described Gavin Newsom, the democratic governor of California as ‘weak and incompetent’.

“Therefore, I will apply 100 percent tariffs to all films other than the US to solve this long -term problem,” he wrote.

It remains unclear whether the UK will be caught in Crossfire, but when the UK-US trade agreement was signed in May, Trump Times James Bond had nothing to worry about.

“ We will make a separate discussion on it, ” he added.

As you know, we have put tariffs on that movie set, Moviemakers, and we will make some tariffs to get it because many have left this country.

‘They all live here, the money comes from here, everything comes from here, but they do them in other countries, so we will do something to bring them back, but James Bond has nothing to worry about.’

Download Street is said to expect an explanation as to how tariffs will work and whether to apply to the UK.

A government spokesman insisted: ‘Our film industry employs millions of people, produces billions of people for our economy and exhibits British culture globally.

‘We are absolutely determined to ensure that it continues to develop and continue to create good work through our modern industrial strategy.’

Industrial figures also underestimated Trump’s plan, and said that films were not treated like normal goods and how to calculate tariffs according to box office or production costs.

Philippa Childs, President of the Creative Workers Union Bectu, warned how the industry works ‘completely misunderstands’.

“Most productions are based on global connection, so the tariffs are not completely useful,” he said.

Moreover, the implementation of tariffs will be a hammer coup that the global sector can meet, as the UK will endanger the high -skilled labor force. The government must be alive for this risk to protect the British leading film industry and work actively. ‘
