  • U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said he has authorized a 100% tariff on movies made overseas. The news hit some media companies' shares in Monday-morning trading.

On July 1, 2024, shares of Netflix and other media companies dropped after former President Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on foreign-made films and television shows if re-elected. Trump's proposal aims to protect American entertainment industries by taxing foreign content, which could increase costs for streaming services and potentially lead to higher subscription prices for consumers. The announcement led to a decline in stock prices, with Netflix shares falling 2.3%, Paramount Global dropping 3.1%, and Warner Bros. Discovery decreasing by 2.7%. This move is part of Trump's broader strategy to bolster domestic industries, but it has raised concerns about potential trade wars and increased costs for U.S. consumers.
