James Bond Under Trump's Crosshairs: Trade War Threatens the British Film Industry.

Trump Plans to Impose Tariff on Foreign Films

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his plans to impose a 100% tariff on films made outside the country. This initiative has created a stir in the film world. The James Bond franchise may change its filming locations due to Trump's decision.

According to the publication 'Glavcom' citing The Telegraph, Trump explained his move as a necessity to protect American cinema from tax incentives that encourage film production abroad.

«This is a coordinated effort by other countries and therefore a threat to national security», - said Trump himself.

This move has had a negative impact on studios in Hollywood and the UK. It may force American studios to move the filming and production of James Bond movies back to Hollywood.

«I am not against change, but I believe that to maintain the continuity of the new Bond era it must remain within the UK», - said Mark O'Connell, author of 'Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond Fan'.

A White House representative is trying to soften the situation by stating that final decisions regarding the import of foreign films have not yet been made. However, films that are in production or are planned to be shot in the UK are under serious question.

Other films planned for shooting in the UK include new installments of 'Star Wars', 'Avengers', and 'Spider-Man'. Executives are currently making efforts to understand how tariffs may affect these projects.

This Trump decision has provoked negative reactions in the film industry, which has only just begun to recover from the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, all attention is focused on the reaction of film companies and the further development of the situation.
