It's why I said Trump will either be the shittiest leader in America history Or simply the greatest. He doesn't play safe. |

American movie producers have been going to foreing countries to make their monies, its a lot cheaper less hassle and it has exposed the local talent ion those countries to the world, they are also using AI and CGI to make movies, AI generated images of known stars, I think AI wil kill the movie industry. Love my classic movies 50s to early 2000s, when movies were movies. |

This ed iot will kill everything America has on the rest of the world. Imagine China and the rest of the world retaliating even tho Americans don't watch American movies like the rest of the world watches American content. The reason we all think America is anything is because of the brainwashing most of us have received by nollywood. |

He has not successfully executed one single promise on his election mandate. The MAGA thing is an illusion just as trump's archaic ideas. He promised to end Russia / Ukraine and Israel Hamas wars in weeks of assumption of office. But, ultimately, he backed out. He talks with emotions without proper thinking and planning. Lots of American films produced outside US for cost reasons will be affected too. If Hollywood is dying, is it tariffs on imported DVDs that would save it? Most viewers download, stream or watch their movies via cable tv etc. Perhaps Hollywood has reached its peak and needs more research funds and human capital to compete. Just like the trade war with China and the rest which has crippled many businesses of both countries. Those are not the solution. He is so dumb honestly. America needs to kick out this old clown in my opinion, or use legislative or judicial powers to curb his executive orders. |

Cmanforall:China alone is enough to implement it. That's over 1/6th of the world's population in a single country! If India joins, it's game over. China and India combined have 35% of the world's total population. |

jocelynor:You don't know what you are talking about. Do you subscribe to Netflix, viki, IQIYI, tencent, jiohotstar and others? If you don't,step aside as this is beyond you I subscribe to 5 of these and I have already explained what's happening like 1 month ago before this. If this is not done, Netflix and the rest will die natural death in no distance time. And they have been overrun by these foreign platforms in their country not outside. Trump is fighting for the survival of American companies and these companies came to him for urgent talk before he took this action |

Alright and the World too should impose 140% on all America lie lie movies. Anyway I can't even remember when last did I watched America movie I think it's more than 4 years now I totally lost interest in their movie due to too many fake scenes and character decadence they are selling to the world to pollute humanity. Trump 100% or 500% I don't bloody care. |

fritiyo:The problem is not even American movies. Asian Pacific which is the target here don't watch American movies that much. Every year, the number is decreasing. They prefer their local contents. The koko is the streaming platforms. These companies are reaching out to their English audience through America almost free. So companies like Netflix can't compete with them. Netflix don't come close to what they offer so people are fast subscribing to them and ditching Netflix. As long as you love asian Pacific dramas, you have no business with Netflix. Also they are so cheap unlike Netflix. Netflix projected gain from like 5 years and above from these countries featuring their movies and dramas but they have already cornered Netflix. So instead of gaining, Netflix will start losing if something is not done. I subscribe to the platforms in question and I know exactly what is happening here. |

This guy is a main G!! Just like Japan is full of japanese China is full of Chinese Korea is full of Koreans - Trump wants America to be full of Americans American people with American values and American beliefs and American ideologies. - Any immigrant trying to do born-again, Alah Wakba, He will KICK YOU OUT. Better go and start watching cowboy movies now to learn what American values are. Gun and shoot! |

Funny how Long term Americans will enjoy this Policy after some modifications to the Tariffs. What Trump showed the world is that America is a consumption country and not a producing country company which is affecting the country Output. |
