The 007 franchise is based in England and usually rolls in the famous Pinewood studies in the country, as well as in cities around the world. Trump caused Hollywood confusion this month after announcing that he had authorized the United States commercial representative and the Commerce Department to initiate measures to impose a 100 % tariff on the films produced abroad.
“As you know, we are imposing tariffs on … movies, filmmakers”Trump said when The London Times asked about the tariff plan at a press conference. “And we are going to impose tariffs to return, because many of them have left the country. They all live here, money comes from here, everything comes from here, but produce them in other countries. So we are going to do something to return, perhaps to a large extent.”
“But James Bond has nothing to worry about, I assure you”Trump added. “And you know, Sean Connery was my friend. He was responsible for me to get the zoning in Aberdeen. He said: ‘That damn guy builds his golf courses.’ We had been in the process for four years, and it was impossible in Aberdeen … it was a great guy, Sean Connery. “
