#159 Trump's Hollywood Tariff

from AMERICAPLUS Hosted by Cole McCormick

Host Cole McCormick dives into the surprising news of Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on foreign-made movies, a move that could significantly impact Hollywood and the global film industry. Cole discusses the implications of a 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States, questioning how this could affect major studios like Disney and Warner Brothers, which often film internationally to take advantage of tax incentives. He reflects on the potential for this policy to revitalize American filmmaking by encouraging more domestic production, while also considering the challenges and economic pressures that have driven studios to seek cheaper production locations abroad.
