Trump says he's going to slap blockbuster tariffs on foreign films.

Good morning. This is The Marketplace Morning Report.

And we're live from the BBC World Service. I'm Leanna Byrne. Thanks for tuning in.

Donald Trump is turning up the tariff dial.

announcement. But what we don't know is how this is going to work because obviously the movie

industry is not exactly like cars being imported into the United States. So how these tariffs

would work, we still don't know the

details. Yeah, there is a lot of unknowns. But the thing is, a lot of countries around the world
