Trump Announces 100% Tariff on Foreign Films, New Levies on Furniture Imports
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, on September 29, intensified his trade policy agenda by announcing sweeping tariffs targeting two major sectors — films and furniture.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump vowed to impose a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States, citing concerns that foreign competitors have undercut Hollywood’s global dominance. He criticized California’s leadership for failing to safeguard the state’s film industry, calling it a “long time, never ending problem.”
At the same time, Trump promised “substantial tariffs” on imported furniture, specifically blaming China and other countries for the decline of North Carolina’s once-thriving furniture industry. He said the move is aimed at reviving domestic production and restoring jobs in the U.S.
The proposed tariffs, if implemented, could have far-reaching consequences for global trade, entertainment, and manufacturing supply chains. Industry stakeholders are awaiting further details on the policy framework.
