President Donald Trump speaks with reporters after disembarking Marine One upon arrival on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Sunday, May 4, 2025.

US President Donald Trump turned toward an unexpected target on Sunday as he warned the film industry to stop shifting productions overseas ― or else face massive tariffs.

“The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,” the president wrote on his Truth Social website, noting that other nations are offering tax incentives to lure film production.

“Hollywood, and many other areas within the USA, are being devastated,” he wrote. “This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!”

Trump said he would place a 100% tariff on films produced in other countries.

“WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!” he wrote.

It’s not clear how this would impact movies filmed in multiple locations including the United States. It’s also not clear if this would apply to television and/or streaming productions, which are also often filmed abroad.........
