President Trump announced a 100% tariff on foreign-made films, citing national security concerns and the decline of the U.S. film industry. He also revealed plans to nominate Stephen Miller as national security adviser and instructed the Bureau of Prisons to reopen Alcatraz for violent offenders.

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that a 100% tariff would be imposed on movies made outside of the United States, citing the decline of the American film industry. He argued that this decline was driven by foreign nations offering incentives to attract American filmmakers. Trump claimed that the foreign efforts amounted to a national security threat, as they represented more than just economic competition but also "messaging and propaganda." He expressed these views in a post on Truth Social.

Trump authorized the relevant government agencies, such as the Department of Commerce, to begin the process of imposing the tariff immediately. He also declared, "WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!" In response, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated on X, "We're on it."

This announcement followed China's decision last month to reduce its imports of U.S. films.

In other developments, Trump also mentioned that Stephen Miller, his deputy chief of staff, was a top contender to be appointed national security adviser, following the nomination of Mike Waltz to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trump had named Senator Marco Rubio as a temporary replacement for Waltz. The move came as Waltz was under scrutiny for his involvement in the "Signalgate" scandal, where he had mistakenly added a journalist to a chat group discussing military operations in Yemen. Trump indicated that Miller could fill the national security adviser role within six months, noting that Miller had already played a significant role in shaping policies within the administration. "He's a very valued person in the administration," Trump added.

Additionally, Trump stated on Sunday that he was directing the Federal Bureau of Prisons to "rebuild and open Alcatraz" to house the nation’s most dangerous and violent criminals. Alcatraz, a federal prison located on an island off the coast of San Francisco, had previously housed notorious figures like Al Capone before it was closed in 1963 due to its high operating costs. The site is now a popular tourist destination.
