Insane asshole.Will this include #Vancouver BC?#Trump said on Monday he would impose a 100% tariff on all foreign-made #movies, an unprecedented move that threatens to upend #Hollywood's global #business model.The step signals Trump's willingness to extend *protectionist* #trade policies into #cultural industries, raising uncertainty for studios that depend heavily on international box-office revenue & cross-border co-productions.#law #economy #RevengePolitics https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/us-impose-100-tariff-movies-made-outside-country-2025-09-29/?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=notifications&utm_campaign=2025_engagement

#Trump announced the measure in a post on his Truth Social platform, claiming #US #movie-making is losing ground to international competition."Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing candy from a baby," he wrote.However, it was not immediately clear what #legal authority Trump would use to impose a 100% #tariff on foreign-made films.#law #economy #movies #film #business #inflation #jobs #recession #RevengePolitics

Studio executives told Reuters earlier this year that they were "flummoxed" by how a #movie #tariff might be enforced, given that modern #films often use #production, financing, post-production & visual effects spread across multiple countries.The move has drawn skepticism from #legal & #trade analysts. Some argue films are a form of #IntellectualProperty & part of the global #trade in services, an area where the #US often runs a surplus, raising questions about the legal basis for #tariffs.

@Nonilex as someone in the industry, this seems obviously unworkable and almost certainly another classic Trump shakedown tactic of some kind. And yeah, this is going to include Vancouver BC and all our other production hubs.

@HarriettMB He could not care less about the country. It’s all about him. In his mind he’s punishing countries & industries he thinks have wronged him somehow. Hollywood is mostly democratic & progressive as well as powerful enough to openly criticize him.

@Nonilex That's too absurd. I was wondering at which point I'll just laugh because there would be nothing else to say. And that's it. That's my point of ridicularity.
