On May 4 (local time), US President Trump declared that he would impose a 100% tariff on all films made abroad. In a social media post, he claimed that America's movie industry is "dying a very fast death" and accused other countries of "offering all sorts of incentives to draw" American filmmakers and studios away from the country.
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick later shared Trump's post, confirming that implementation is underway.
Is it reasonable for the US to impose a 100% tariff on films produced overseas? If higher tariffs lead to increased ticket prices, will audiences still be willing to go to the movies? Can sky-high tariffs really "save" Hollywood? Let's watch what foreigners in Hong Kong have to say on this topic!
