In remarks reported by CNBC, Trump said he was planning to discuss the plan with film industry leaders. âIâm not looking to hurt the industry, I want to help the industry.â He added: âSo weâre going to meet with the industry. I want to make sure theyâre happy with it because weâre all about jobs.â Trump also took aim again at California state governor Gavin Newsom, saying the film industry âhas been decimated by other countries taking them out, and also by incompetence, like in Los Angeles, the governor [Gavin Newsom] is a grossly incompetent man, heâs just allowed it to be taken away fromâ. Trump added: âHollywood doesnât do very much of that business, they have the nice sign, and everythingâs good, but they donât do very much.â Trumpâs talk of film tariffs makes no sense, but itâs already doing damage â to Hollywood Peter Bradshaw Peter Bradshaw Read more Newsom responded with a statement saying: âGovernor Newsom continues to champion Californiaâs iconic film and television industry â recognising it as a cornerstone of the stateâs economy, one that sustains hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs across every sector around the state.â âHis plan to more than double the stateâs film and television tax credit reflects a commitment to keeping production here at home, supporting workers and maintaining Californiaâs global leadership in entertainment. If the President announces a proposal with more details, we will review it.â Newsom had earlier responded to Trumpâs announcement by proposing a $7.5bn federal tax incentive scheme, saying in a statement to Variety: âBuilding on our successful state program, weâre eager to partner with the Trump administration to further strengthen domestic production.â Tax incentive schemes in the US currently operate on a state-by-state basis, and Newsom had announced a plan in April to boost Californiaâs to $750m. California senator Adam Schiff also condemned Trumpâs tariff proposal while backing calls for a federal tax credit scheme, saying in a statement: âBlanket tariffs on all films would have unintended and potentially damaging impacts, [but] we have an opportunity to work together to pass a major federal film tax credit to re-shore American jobs in the industry.â Late night TV hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon also joined the chorus of dismay and bafflement at Trumpâs plan. Commenting that Trump was ânow aiming his wrecking ball at Hollywoodâ, Kimmel questioned whether foreign-made movies were a ânational security threatâ as Trump claimed. âI donât care where theyâre made. I really donât. I guess itâs what the late, great Hannibal Lecter wouldâve wanted. Sonic, the illegal immigrant hedgehog, is a national security threat and he must be stopped!â Kimmel also mocked actor Jon Voightâs role in Trumpâs thinking, saying: âThis is where he reportedly got the tariff movies idea â from Angelina Jolieâs 86-year-old father she wonât talk to. What a great idea. Next year, The White Lotus is gonna be set at a Hampton Inn.â Fallon also took aim at Trumpâs implication that foreign locations were somehow taboo, saying: âGonna be fun seeing the next Lord of the Rings filmed in Bayonne, New Jersey,â adding: âIf you donât like that, you can also watch Emily in Des Moines [instead of Emily in Paris]. Itâs just as charming.â Explore more on these topics Film Film industry Donald Trump Trump tariffs Gavin Newsom Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Fallon news Share Reuse this content Most viewed Live German parliament votes again on Merzâs bid to be chancellor after humiliating first round â Europe live Trump and Carney to meet at White House in closely watched encounter Mushroom lunchâs sole surviving guest details deadly meal and its aftermath as trial of Erin Patterson continues âItâs the misogyny slop ecosystem!â How Candace Owens and the American right declared war on Blake Lively Wisconsin woman missing for more than 60 years found âalive and wellâSports and hobbies 2, form 6Sports and PastimesSports and equipment matchingSports and hobbies2Sports and hobbies (very easy)Sports and hobbies, form 6
