Donald Trump announces tariffs from 100 percent to foreign films
Hardly any film industry is as successful as that of the United States. Only Donald Trump believes the industry on the descending branch. He wants to protect her – by abundant others.
Donald Trump has announced tariffs of a hundred percent on films produced outside of the USA. The US President named the weakening domestic film industry on his online platform Truth on Sunday. He therefore authorizes the US Ministry of Trade and the trade officer “immediately starting all films with the introduction of a 100 % customs that come to our country and are produced abroad,” wrote Trump.
“The American film industry dies very quickly,” said the US President. The film industry in Hollywood and elsewhere in the country is “destroyed” due to the trend of US filmmakers and studios, working abroad. In the course of the customs surcharge, he spoke of a “threat to national security”, but initially gave no details about the conditions of such a step.
Donald Trump first lowered tariffs
Trump had celebrated the 100th day of his second term on Tuesday and promised the US citizens a flourishing economy and more jobs. At the beginning of his term 100 days ago, the right -wing populist had spent the slogan to “make America and its economy” great “again and to protect against foreign influences.
At the beginning of April, Trump imposed high tariffs on US imports from numerous countries. After turbulence on the financial markets, he later lowered most of the surcharges to ten percent.
