Trump film tariffs to be part of UK-US trade talks
- The UK government announced that film tariffs, prompted by President Trump's proposed 100% tariff on foreign films, will be included in ongoing UK-US trade talks.
- The tariffs aim to address claims that foreign incentives cause US film industry decline, though no final tariff decisions have been made by the US administration.
- About 65% of UK film production spending comes from major US studios, supporting over 195,000 UK film sector jobs that are still recovering from Covid-19 disruptions.
- President Trump described the US film industry as facing a "very fast death" due to overseas incentives, and top UK industry leaders acknowledged the impact of cheaper international production costs.
- Including film tariffs in trade talks could affect two-thirds of the UK's film market, suggesting potential risks to jobs and production unless negotiations resolve these issues.
