President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would impose a 100 percent tariff on all foreign-made movies. The president announced the measure in a post on the Truth Social platform, claiming U.S. movie-making is losing ground to international competition.

"Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing 'candy from a baby,'" he wrote.
