Donald Trump also launches his tariffs against the foreign film industry in defense of the one made in the USA . "I authorize the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to immediately begin the process of imposing a 100% tariff on all films coming into our country that are produced in foreign countries . We want American-made films, again!", he wrote on Truth.
"The American film industry," the US president claims, "is dying very fast. Other countries are offering all sorts of incentives to lure our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood and many other areas of the United States are devastated. This is a concerted effort by other nations and, therefore, a threat to national security. It is, on top of everything else, a message and propaganda!"
In an interview with NBC News yesterday, Trump refused to rule out making some tariffs permanent. “No, I wouldn’t do that, because if anyone thinks they’re going to be taken off the table, why would they build in the United States?” he said. As for Beijing, he admitted he had been “very tough on China,” effectively cutting off trade between the world’s two largest economies, but said the Dragon now wants to reach a deal . “We stopped cold turkey,” he said. “That means we’re not going to lose a trillion dollars … because we’re not doing business with them right now. And they want to reach a deal. They really want to. We’ll see how it plays out, but it has to be a fair deal.”
