President Donald Trump unveiled a 100% tariff on foreign films shortly after private consultations with actor Jon Voight about revitalizing U.S. film production. Voight, who has served as a special ambassador to Hollywood, presented a plan emphasizing federal tax incentives, co-production treaties, and infrastructural support without advocating broad tariffs. Trump's sweeping tariff announcement surprised the film industry, which often relocates productions abroad for cost efficiency. Voight stated that the White House is reviewing his proposals aimed at boosting U.S. film and television production.
Voight's proposal emphasized federal tax incentives and co-production treaties, contrasting sharply with Trumpâs unexpected announcement of a sweeping 100% tariff on foreign films.
Trumpâs announcement of a 100% tariff on foreign films shocked the industry, particularly since it deviated from Voight's more focused suggestions for attracting production back to the US.
