Trump Sends Shockwaves Around The World on New Screen Tariffs – Screen Producers Australia (SPA) has noted President Trump’s announcement this morning on his Truth Social platform of a 100% tariff on all movies “produced in foreign lands.”
“At this stage, it is unclear what this announcement means in practice or how it will be applied and implemented”,
– said SPA CEO Matthew Deaner.
“There are many unknowns for our industry, but until we know more, there’s no doubt it will send shockwaves worldwide.
“For the Australian industry, it reinforces the need for the Government to focus immediately and swiftly on building a resilient local industry that can withstand global shocks like this.
“As we get set for our annual SCREEN FOREVER conference, set to start tomorrow, we’re certain today’s announcement will be the catalyst for many, many conversations between local and international industry executives and screen professionals.
“SPA will continue to monitor developments and await the Executive Order, which should provide further information on this,”
– said Mr Deaner.
