Trump’s 100% Movie Tariff Still Faces 3 Major Obstacles

President Trump has reiterated his proposal to impose a 100% tariff on foreign-made films, signaling a stronger intent to implement the policy. This move raises significant practical and legal questions regarding how to tax films produced and edited across borders and whether existing laws, like the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, would permit such a tariff due to specific exemptions for informational materials. Hollywood, unions, and theater operators have expressed concerns, with unions advocating for U.S. subsidies instead. The lack of political support and potential legal challenges suggest the plan faces considerable hurdles.
