Hollywood’s efforts to bring film production back to U.S. soil took a turn after Trump proposed 100% tariffs on imported movies, according to The Wall Street Journal. Actor Jon Voight met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend to advocate for federal tax incentives and infrastructure support measures Hollywood insiders widely prefer over tariffs. Theatrical stage workers' union IATSE urged the administration to consider a nationwide tax incentive program as job losses mount. Production spending in the U.S. has dropped as other countries offer better tax breaks and lower labor costs. Trump said he plans to consult the industry and emphasized job creation, though no timeline or tariff details were provided. Shares of Disney, Netflix, and major theater chains fell Monday.
