Trump tariffs will beat 'greedy' Hollywood: Teamsters president Sean O'Brien

International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Sean O’Brien applauded President Donald Trump’s planned tariffs on foreign-made movies, suggesting they will pave the way for Hollywood jobs to return stateside.

Trump announced on Sunday that he would seek to implement a 100% tariff on all films “produced in foreign lands,” stating that other countries are offering “incentives” to draw filmmakers away from the United States. O’Brien, who spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention, stated that “working bipartisan” is meant to improve the lives of all U.S. workers. He stated the president’s tariffs are relevant to the Teamsters’s mission.
