White House Says "No Final Decisions" Have Been Made on Film Tariffs After Trump Announces Plan | THR News Video

After President Donald Trump said that a tariff on foreign-made movies is in the works, the White House has released a clarifying statement saying, quote, "no final decisions" have been made.

Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States." He went on to propose a 100% tariff on any films, quote, "that are produced in foreign lands" and ordered the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative to begin exploring options.

Papal Conclave: Macron Accused of Meddling in Papal Conclave to Push French Cardinal for Next Pope?

French President Emmanuel Macron is under scrutiny for allegedly trying to sway the upcoming papal conclave in favor of French cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline. Conservative Italian outlets claim Macron met with key Vatican figures to boost Aveline’s candidacy. While some label it a diplomatic power play to restore influence with the Holy See, others dismiss it as rumor. The conclave, set for May 7, will see 135 cardinals vote to elect Pope Francis’ successor. The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond. #Macron #PapalConclave #PopeElection #Vatican #JeanMarcAveline #CatholicChurch #PopeFrancis #France #Italy #HolySee #SantEgidio #VaticanPolitics #Conclave2025 #Cardinals #PapalSuccession #PopeNews #Rome #MacronScandal #ChurchInfluence #WorldNews Also Read Pope finds compatible clergy in Global South :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-finds-compatible-clergy-in-global-south-3453599.html?ref=DMDesc With a confluence of two events under one roof, India to host over 50 political, economic leaders :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/with-a-confluence-of-two-events-under-one-roof-india-to-host-over-50-political-economic-leaders-3430539.html?ref=DMDesc IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to inaugurate 3rd edition of NIC Tech Conclave in New Delhi :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/it-minister-ashwini-vaishnaw-to-inaugurate-3rd-edition-of-nic-tech-conclave-in-new-delhi-3378452.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.121~

‘THE WEST NO LONGER EXISTS’: EU Chief Von Der Leyen Declares End of U.S.-Europe Alliance [Video]

‘THE WEST NO LONGER EXISTS’: EU Chief Von Der Leyen Declares End of U.S.-Europe Alliance

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: “The West as we knew it no longer exists.” In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trump’s aggressive tariffs—20% on EU goods and 25% on cars—for collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance. As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners. Von der Leyen says 87% of the world’s trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power.

Trump Slams EU’s Tariff Proposal as ‘Very Bad’, Cites Car Ban, Slaps 20% Tariffs on Industrial Goods [Video]

Trump Slams EU’s Tariff Proposal as ‘Very Bad’, Cites Car Ban, Slaps 20% Tariffs on Industrial Goods

President Donald Trump has rejected the European Union’s "zero-for-zero" tariff proposal for industrial goods, calling it "very, very bad." Trump argued that the EU restricts U.S. cars and agriculture, and retaliated by imposing a 20% tariff on European exports. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned of countermeasures if talks collapse. As tensions escalate, EU stock markets tumbled, with Germany’s DAX and the UK’s FTSE 100 suffering heavy losses. The standoff risks disrupting transatlantic trade worth over €1 trillion annually, threatening global economic stability. #Trump #EUTrade #TariffWar #TradeTensions #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #EuropeanUnion #TradeDeficit #ZeroTariff #Cars #USvsEU #GlobalMarkets #VonDerLeyen #USExports #TariffNews #Protectionism #BreakingNews #EUReaction #IndustrialTrade #TrumpTariffs Also Read Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Visits Kennedy Center to Shape the Future of National Arts and Culture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-visit-kennedy-center-arts-institution-011-4097567.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.344~HT.408~
