\n\tWhoopi Goldberg<\/a> is telling Donald Trump<\/a> to \u201cplease stop\u201d with regards to Hollywood and film tariffs. Trump brought about shock and confusion within the movie and TV industries this week by writing on social media\u00a0that he had approved the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to provoke steps to impose a 100% tariff on movies made abroad. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOkay, look, you can\u2019t do that,\u201d Goldberg fired again on \u201cThe View\u201d (through EW<\/a>). \u201cWhat that equates to is, you\u2019re going to tell me how to write the story I want to write if it happens in Europe? Look, could you please lower the price of eggs before you start this?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhen you go over to another country to work, you work with the people who are there,\u201d the EGOT winner continued. \u201cWe don\u2019t import our folks to go over there. Who are you going to put this tariff on? The production? The studio? What are you talking about?\u2026 It is part of what we do. Please stop. The bottom line is tax incentives. If you want to change, you have to change it in the states and make it available for people to shoot here. Don\u2019t stop us from going over and shooting overseas, because then you\u2019re limiting us.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAnd also, not for nothing. The movies teach people English,\u201d Goldberg concluded. \u201cWe teach people who will never get to America, what America is all about. We show them who we are. If you impose a tax like this, you\u2019re saying that we\u2019re not good enough, and that\u2019s not the case. We\u2019re the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAmid confusion over Trump\u2019s announcement, the White House issued a press release <\/a>saying \u201cno final decisions\u201d have been made\u00a0but on the matter. A spokesperson added: \u201cThe Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump\u2019s directive to safeguard our country\u2019s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJon Voight and his producing accomplice, Steven Paul, revealed after Trump\u2019s announcement that they’d submitted a \u201ccomprehensive\u201d plan<\/a> to him in an try and rescue the leisure trade. As reported by Variety<\/a><\/em>: \u201cThe plan includes federal incentives for production and post-production, co-production treaties with foreign countries as well as infrastructure subsidies for theater owners and production companies, job training, and changes to the tax code. The plan also calls for tariffs in \u2018certain limited circumstances.’\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe President loves the entertainment business and this country, and he will help us make Hollywood great again,\u201d Voight stated in a press release.<\/p>\n \n\tVoight is one in all three \u201cspecial ambassadors\u201d appointed by Trump to deal with Hollywood points, together with Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Whoopi Goldberg is telling Donald Trump to \u201cplease stop\u201d with regards to Hollywood and film tariffs.
