President Donald Trump said on Monday he would impose a 100% tariff on all films produced overseas that are then sent into the US, repeating a threat made in May that would upend Hollywood’s global business model.<\/p>\n

The step signals Trump’s willingness to extend protectionist trade policies into cultural industries, raising uncertainty for studios that depend heavily on cross-border co-productions and international box-office revenue.<\/p>\n

“Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing candy from a baby,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social.<\/p>\n

However, it was not immediately clear what legal authority Trump would use to impose a 100% tariff on foreign-made films.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters<\/em> request for comment on how the tariffs would be implemented.<\/p>\n

Top US studios Warner Bros Discovery, Paramount Skydance, and Netflix also did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Comcast declined to comment.<\/p>\n

“There is too much uncertainty, and this latest move raises more questions than answers,” said PP Foresight analyst Paolo Pescatore.<\/p>\n

“For now, as things stand, costs are likely to increase, and this will inevitably be passed on to consumers,” he said.<\/p>\n

The president had first floated the idea of a movie tariff in May but offered few details, leaving entertainment executives unsure whether it would apply to specific countries or all imports.<\/p>\n

Shares of Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery were down 2.1% and 1.3%, respectively.<\/p>\n

Studio executives told Reuters<\/em> 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 and visual effects spread across multiple countries.<\/p>\n

Hollywood has increasingly relied on overseas production hubs such as Canada, the UK and Australia, where tax incentives have attracted big-budget shoots for films ranging from superhero blockbusters to streaming dramas.<\/p>\n

At the same time, co-productions with foreign studios have become more common, particularly in Asia and Europe, where local partners provide financing, access to markets, and distribution networks.<\/p>\n

Industry executives also warn that a broad tariff could affect the thousands of US workers employed on overseas shoots, from visual effects artists to production crews, whose work is often coordinated across multiple countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
