In recent years, California -- home to America's film industry -- has slipped to become the 6th most preferred location to shoot and produce movies. Hollywood producers are moving to cities in Canada, the UK, Central Europe and New Zealand, lured by a range of financial benefits on offer. Donald Trump wants to reverse this trend and says he wants to 'make movies in America, again'. And he's using the stick to do so. Trump has ordered 100% tariffs on imported movies and those made outside the US. The move has confused Hollywood and the European film industry. So, how will the tariffs be implemented? Will a movie partly produced outside the US be punished? And what about films made for streaming platforms? And how will the tariffs affect the movie industry globally?
