The White House clarified on May 5 that no final decisions have been made on imposing tariffs on foreign-made films, while “all options” remain under consideration following President Donald Trump’s directive to explore trade measures aimed at revitalizing the U.S. movie industry.

“Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump’s directive to safeguard our country’s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again,” White House spokesman Kush Desai told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.
