Lewzer: Non-US movies to be hit with 100% tariffs

US President Donald Trump says he plans to hit movies made in foreign countries with 100% tariffs, as he ramps up trade disputes with countries around the world. Trump said he was authorising the US Trade Representative to start the process to impose the levy because America's movie industry was dying "a very fast death". He blamed a "concerted effort" by other countries that offer incentives to attract filmmakers and studios, which he described as a "National Security threat".

The list of things that are not a "National Security threat" is getting pretty short.

Trump said on his Truth Social platform: "It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!"

If you believe you're a total loser, everything is a threat.

Did Pres Trump give any specifics on how the tariffs would be levied, or a timetable?
