Jon Voight defends Trump’s film tariff plan: ‘Something has to be done’

Jon Voight, a Trump supporter, proposed using tariffs to revive the U.S. film industry by increasing foreign film taxes, but his idea gained little traction after Donald Trump withdrew it amid backlash. Critics argued that other countries offer more economical production incentives, while Hollywood executives and unions like Sag-Aftra have expressed support for preserving the industry's prominence in the U.S., though its output has fallen 40% over the past decade as work moves overseas.
