Trump to ask Hollywood studios if they’re happy with 100% foreign film tariff idea-OxBig News Network

President Donald Trump said Monday that he will ask Hollywood studios if “they’re happy” with his proposal to impose tariffs of 100% percent on foreign-made films.

“I’m not looking to hurt the industry, I want to help the industry,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“So we’re going to meet with the industry,” he said. “I want to make sure they’re happy with it because we’re all about jobs.”

Trump’s comments came a day after he said in a social media post that he was authorizing the Commerce Department and the U.S. trade representative to “immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.”

But on Monday, White House spokesman Kush Desai said that “no final decision on foreign film tariffs have been made.”

Desai also said, “The Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump’s directive to safeguard our country’s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again.”
