Donald Trump: 'This will not affect foreign language films,' says PGOI president on Trump's decision


Posted on 30th Sep 2025 01:39 pm by rohit kumar

US President Donald Trump recently announced a 100% tariff on films produced outside the U.S. In response, Shibashish Sarkar, President of the Producers Guild of India, has expressed his views. He believes that the new tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on film production may be an attempt by the US government to "protect local jobs and investment."

 

 

Waiting for an official order

In a statement to ANI, Shibashish said, "Trump's statement may be directed at Hollywood productions taking place outside the US. We will wait until we receive an official order. Right now, his focus is on bringing Hollywood productions back to the US, which have moved to Canada, Spain, and South Korea."

 

 

Trump wants to protect jobs.

Shibashish says that foreign language films released in the US will not be affected by the tariffs imposed by Trump. He said of Trump's decision, "His intention is to protect local jobs and investment." Maybe they don't care about foreign language films released in the US.

 

 

Trump Talks Imposing Tariffs on Films

US President Donald Trump on Monday (local time) announced a 100% tariff on all films produced outside the United States. He claimed that the American film industry has been "stolen" by foreigners.

 

 

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Our movie production business has been stolen from America, just like stealing candy from a child. To solve the problem, a 100% tariff will now be imposed on foreign films."
