Donald Trump has said that new James Bond movies won’t be impacted by tariffs.

Recently, Trump proposed a perplexing move where he suggested imposing a 100% tax on foreign-made films, according to his statements earlier this month, involving both the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department in the decision.

Later, the White House released a statement clarifying that no definitive decisions concerning tariffs on foreign films have been reached yet, adding even more ambiguity to the situation.

A representative commented that the Administration is examining every possible method to fulfill President Trump’s instruction, ensuring the protection of our nation’s safety (both national and economic), and revitalizing Hollywood in the process.
