Trump tariffs: US president says foreign movies may be hit with 100% levies
www.bbc.com
The president blamed foreign-made movies for the American film industry's "very fast death".

He blamed a “concerted effort” by other countries that offer incentives to attract filmmakers and studios, which he described as a “National Security threat”.

“WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!”

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responded to the announcement, saying “We’re on it”.

This is an actual thing. I figured it was made up, but no, Trump is serious. :)

    Hollywood isn’t really US anymore.

    CW might as well be called the Vancouver network. Star Trek is mostly filmed in Toronto. I watched an “American” movie yesterday filmed in Spain and Scotland. Even a lot of “American” people in Hollywood aren’t.

    There is no separation possible without him destroying Hollywood. Or, it’ll be just the Evangelical Christian movies left. Even Hallmark films in Canada and they are as US as they come.
