US President Donald Trump has announced that he wants to impose a 100% tariff on all movies made outside the United States. This has created shock and confusion in the film industry. Trump’s statement was shared through his social media posts, where he argued that international productions are harming America’s film business.
Kabir Khan Reacts To Donald Trump’s Movie Tariff
According to Trump, Hollywood has suffered losses because too many films are shot abroad or use production services from other countries. He claimed that this has taken away jobs and business from California and compared it to “stealing candy from a baby.” The idea, he said, is to bring filmmaking back to the US and reduce dependence on foreign productions.
Bollywood director Kabir Khan reacted to this plan and expressed his doubts about how such a rule could even be applied. He pointed out that even many Hollywood films are shot in countries like Canada, the UK, and India. Special effects, editing, and other post-production work also often take place outside America. He questioned whether Trump meant to tax tickets, streaming, or the films themselves. Kabir Khan also joked that Trump might even forget this announcement by the next morning.

This move comes at a time when Hollywood is already struggling. The last few years have seen a decline in box office collections, several strikes by writers and actors, and thousands of job losses. Many experts believe that adding tariffs will only make films more expensive and reduce international cooperation in cinema.
Trump’s tariff threats are not limited to movies. He has also spoken about applying heavy duties on imported furniture, blaming countries like China and Vietnam for hurting local American industries.
