Of all the tariff actions that US President Donald Trump has announced, the 100% delivery of films that are produced outside the USA is one of the most bizarre and took their place next to the head scratch formula that has used its administration to determine the level of tariffs.

Trump did not share any details about how the tariff would work – or whether it would actually be implemented – but the mere announcement of the delivery Was enough to reduce stocks of entertainment and media companies such as Netflix and Paramount.

Apart from the costs, how would these tariffs work on a cultural level? Would the Oscars remove their category for the best foreign film? Do all films also have to be made in the USA? Are American actors punished in international films?

These like unusual concerns, but the prediction of the next act of the US president is almost impossible – Trump is a cliffhanger that is embodied. In view of the fact that the president's term of office seems to be almost a reality television series for Trump, his actions are good for the number of spectators, but a lazy tomato for everyone else.
