US President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday, September 29, he will be imposing a 100% tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States of America. Trump further claimed that his countrys industry has been stolen by others. He said in a Truth Social post that other countries have taken business from the United States, just like stealing candy from a baby.' He criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom as weak and incompetent, adding that the state has been heavily impacted. In order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States, Trump wrote.  He did not provide further details on his plans, or a timeline for when these tariffs might be enacted. Trumps remarks come shortly after he threatened a slew of new tariffs to be imposed this week on branded pharmaceutical products, furniture, as well as heavy trucks, respectively. Trumps latest post echoes a threat he made in May, when he said the US movie industry was dying a very fast death. At the time, he said he was authorizing the Department of Commerce and US Trade Representative to start the process of instituting a 100-percent tariff. The implications for the movie industry remain unclear for now. The post Trump announces 100% tariffs on movies made outside the US appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
