Trump spokesperson says the administration is ‘exploring all options’ but not yet enacting 100% tariff on movies ‘produced in Foreign Lands’ as president saidDonald Trump’s bombshell announcement that “Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands” will be subject to a 100% tariff has certainly caught the attention of Hollywood, as well as the international film industries it seems to be aimed at – principally Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, as well as European countries such as Hungary and Italy that have often acted as bases for US film production.Vague and grandstanding at it is, the chaotic rollout of previous Trump tariffs has triggered feverish speculation, as well as defiance, in the film industry in exactly how this might play out.

4 d. ago Trump’s tariffs get one thing right: capitalism is changing | Avram C Alpert

The president’s protectivist trade vision is deeply flawed. But he has picked up on something Democrats are missingTrying to understand Donald Trump’s across-the-board tariffs based solely on economic theory won’t work. As the US president himself said: “Chronic trade deficits are no longer merely an economic problem, they’re a national emergency that threatens our security and our very way of life.” That may be why, as many economists have pointed out, there’s simply no good economic case for his plans.But few commentators have understood that facts and figures aren’t the whole point of the tariffs. As always, economics is part of a broader political vision. The tariffs help Trump make his claim that a way of life is under threat and he alone can protect it. Continue reading...

7 d. ago One hundred days in, Donald Trump faces a problem: he can rage, but he can’t govern | Jonathan Freedland

Americans are beginning to worry about their future amid a shrinking economy, warnings of empty shelves – and the president’s failed promisesHe says it’s the “best 100-day start of any president in history”, but you can file that along with his boast about crowd sizes and his claim to have won the 2020 election. In truth, the first three months of Donald Trump’s second presidency have been calamitous on almost every measure. The single biggest achievement of those 100 days has been to serve as a warning of the perils of nationalist populism, which is effective in winning votes but disastrous when translated into reality. That warning applies across the democratic world – and is especially timely in Britain.Start with the numbers that matter most to Trump himself. A slew of polls appeared this week, but they all told the same story: that Trump’s approval ratings have collapsed, falling to the lowest level for a newly installed president in the postwar era. He has now edged ahead of h...
