In a May 4, 2025 social media post, Trump complained: “The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death ... I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.”
Several months later, in a September 29, 2025 social media post, Trump whined some more: “Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing ‘candy from a baby’ ... I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States."
But that didn't happen. Despite repeated threats, the U.S. has yet to impose a 100% tariff on foreign films. After his initial May promise to initiate the process, the White House said no final decision had been made. Also still unclear is how the U.S. would tax a movie made overseas.
