President Donald Trump is slapping a 100% tax on movies made outside the United States — a vague directive aimed at protecting a business that America already dominates. Claiming that movie production "has been stolen'' from Hollywood and the U.S., Trump posted said he would be imposed the 100% tariff on "any and all movies" made outside of the U.S. The president first issued the threat back in May. It's still unclear how these tariffs would operate, since movies and TV shows can be transmitted digitally without going through ports. Also unclear is what it would mean for U.S. movies filmed on foreign locations — or what legal basis the president would claim for imposing the tariffs.

The White House says no final decisions have been made on President Donald Trump's call for tariffs targeting films made outside the United States. A spokesperson said Monday that the administration is exploring all options. The Republican president said Sunday he has authorized the Department of Commerce and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to slap a 100% tariff "on any and all Movies" coming into the U.S. that are produced overseas. It's unclear how any such tariff on international productions could be implemented. It's common for both large and small films to include production in the U.S. and in other countries.
