Netflix and other media stocks plummeted after President Trump proposed a 100% tariff on foreign films, citing national security concerns.
Companies like Netflix, Disney, Fox Corp., and others experienced significant stock price declines following the announcement.
Investors reacted to the news by selling shares of major streamers and movie companies as Trump aims to promote more American-made films.
The proposed tariff could impact US production companies filming overseas and signal an escalation in the trade war despite progress in negotiations with other countries.
