US Edition'James Bond' franchise has "nothing to worry about" in regard to tariffs, Trump says
- President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that he planned to impose 100 percent tariffs on movies made outside the United States, but stated that the James Bond franchise would not be affected.
- The tariff plan aimed to address the declining U.S. Film industry by discouraging foreign production, though the White House clarified no final decisions had been made on these tariffs.
- Amazon MGM Studios has assumed complete creative authority of the James Bond franchise, ending the Broccoli family's involvement in its production after more than six decades.
- Trump assured that the James Bond franchise would remain unaffected by his tariff plans and implied this protection might be related to his personal friendship with Sean Connery, the original actor who portrayed Bond.
- The tariff announcement triggered industry confusion and surprise, but plans also included federal incentives and co-production support to help revitalize Hollywood and bring productions back to the U.S.
