Trump Orders Alcatraz Reopening and Slaps Tariffs on Foreign Films
President Trump plans to restore Alcatraz as a federal prison, calling it a “rebuilt fortress” for the most dangerous criminals. Additionally, he announced a 100% tariff on foreign films, alleging foreign studios are undercutting Hollywood. Supporters say reactivating Alcatraz projects law and order, while tariffs could bolster U.S. film production. Critics worry about potential human rights abuses tied to Alcatraz’s legacy and warn that steep import taxes on foreign films may spark trade retaliation and restrict consumer choices.
