Trump trade tariff targets non-U.S. movies with 100% levy
Monday, May 5, 2025, 7:21 am
In a bold move that could upend international film production, President Trump has proposed a 100% tariff on non-U.S. movies. The measure, seen as a drastic deterrent to foreign filming incentives, simultaneously champions domestic projects while adding yet another dramatic twist to his trade policy theatrics.
Incentive programs for years have influenced where movies are shot, increasingly driving film production out of California and to other countries with favourable tax incentives.
À l’occasion de sa revue de presse, lundi, Paul Arcand commente l’annonce du président américain qui veut désormais s’attaquer à l’industrie du cinéma en imposant de nouveaux droits de douane de 100 % sur tous les films produits hors des États-Unis.
