Can Donald Trump really put a tariff on films?

President Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on imported films has sparked concern over its application and potential impact on the industry, leaving filmmakers uncertain about how the measure will be enforced within the U.S., which could deter production there. While the plan faces blockage in Congress due to lack of urgent justification and insufficient legal authority under existing trade laws, it highlights Trump’s growing list of controversial trade policies with unclear outcomes. If implemented, higher prices and fewer film options could reshape the industry’s landscape, though experts predict its success is unlikely.
