Trump's Movie Tariffs Run the Risk of a Second, More Damaging, Trade War

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : These problems alone made the idea unpopular, with Hollywood industry and labor groups saying they favored tax breaks, not tariffs.
56% : If the world is lucky, the idea of putting tariffs on movies will be forgotten in the stream of new, suspended and canceled trade initiatives that are being announced every week.
46% : Those talks led to a comprehensive global agreement on free trade still embodied in the rules of the World Trade Organization, though not always followed by the U.S. president.
45% : Why not add movies? President Trump did just that on May 4, proposing to start taxing foreign-made movies 100 percent.
33% : Still, there's little evidence that opening a second front in the trade wars was the intention of President Trump, who said he merely wanted to help Hollywood.
