President Trump imposes 100% tariffs on foreign-produced films...cultural content also faces ”nationalism”

On the 4th (local time), US President Donald Trump announced that he would impose 100% tariffs on all films produced overseas, in the name of protecting the US film industry.
In a post on his social media account, True Social, President Trump said, "The American film industry is declining at a very rapid rate," and "other countries are

The government is expected to investigate the impact that the tariffs will have on film production in other countries. However, it is unclear when and how the tariffs will be imposed on foreign-produced films.
The Wall Street Journal, a US economic media outlet, said that because movies do not physically move through ports like general merchandise,
The bill also does not specify the criteria for defining U.S. films shot abroad as "imports," nor does it specify the criteria for calculating the value of films that qualify for tariffs.
Some are of the opinion that the tariffs could actually be a setback for the U.S. film industry as a whole.
