Earlier, the US President said on the social media platform Truth Social that other countries have "stolen our movie-making business from the United States of America, just like stealing candy from a baby".
Further, Trump said that he will be imposing a 100 per cent Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States in order to solve this long-standing, never-ending problem.
The threat of tariffs was first raised by the US president in May. Nevertheless, no implementation schedule has been provided.
The new announcement came in addition to fresh 100 per cent tariffs imposed by the US administration on certain pharmaceutical products.
