Mumbai: In response to the US President Donald Trump’s recent announcement of imposing a 100% tariff on the movies made outside the United States, Shibasish Sarkar, the President of Producers Guild of India, shared his interpretation of the order.

Shibasish Sarkar believes that Donald Trump’s new tariff imposition on movie production can be a move attempted by the US government to “safeguard local jobs and investment.”

In a statement sent to ANI, Shibasish Shankar said that Trump’s statement “addresses Hollywood production,” which is taking place outside the USA.

“My interpretation of Trump’s statement on the face of it is more to address the Hollywood production, which is currently happening outside the USA. We will wait till we see more material to read ( circular/ executive order).
