Donald Trump on Monday reiterated his plans to levy tariffs as high as 100% on movies filmed outside of the United States, whether they are produced by foreign-owned film companies or Americans.

The president wrote on Truth Social that the fault of America’s supposedly “stolen” movie business lay with California’s Democratic governor, whom he frequently targets for scorn.

He added that the would be imposing a 100% tariff to stop what he called a “never ending problem”, though it was not stated when those tariffs would be put into place.

    That does not mean that a Hollywood Movie is only filmed in this city. Let’s look of one of the most famous Hollywood movies “The Godfather” and it’s film locations: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/locations/

    • Sicily, Italy
    • New York, USA
    • Beverly Hills, USA
    • Las Vegal, USA
    • Los Angeles, USA
    • Jersey City, USA
    • Hollywood, USA
    • Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
    • Lake Tahoe, USA

    From what I understand, at least the locations outside of California can not be considered “Hollywood is a city. In California…USA.”.
