Peter Gregg, associate professor and department chair of emerging media at the University of St. Thomas, spoke to KARE 11 on what it would mean to have a tariff on foreign films. President Donald Trump has proposed a 100% tariff on foreign films, although no final decisions have been made.
From the story:
“My first reaction was let’s see what happens in 48 hours,” Peter Gregg, chair of the Department of Emerging Media at the University of St Thomas, said.
That pause comes from how a tariff on a film would work, Gregg says.
“I think there are a lot of questions about what it means to produce something outside of the United States,” he said. “Does that mean it’s the money? Does that mean it’s where the production takes place? Is it the company that owns the companies that make the film? So there are just a lot of question marks and a lot of uncertainty.”
