President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the United States in a social media post on Monday, another escalation tactic as the president seeks to increase production in the nation.

“Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing ‘candy from a baby,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social . “California, with its weak and incompetent Governor , has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”
