Donald Trump and 'Fantastic' Jon Voight Craft Plan to Save 'Disaster' Hollywood
Trump says a federal production incentive could bring film and TV work back to the United States and support jobs in California, with bipartisan talks planned.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump met with actor Jon Voight and SP Media Group CEO Steven Paul at the White House, emerging very supportive of a federal tax incentive for film and TV productions after learning a planned Nixon biopic would move overseas without U.S. incentives.
- Trump appointed Voight as his 'Special Ambassador to Hollywood' to assess industry challenges, initially proposing a 100% tariff on foreign-made movies last May before the Motion Picture Association helped redirect focus toward a federal tax credit.
- Voight read an 'impassioned letter' urging the president to respond to the industry's workforce crisis as producers moved to Canada, the U.K., and Australia, while a broad coalition including SAG-AFTRA, the Writers Guild, and the Motion Picture Association backed a 20% tax credit.
- Following Monday's meeting, Trump posted on Truth Social calling on Republicans and Democrats to 'immediately craft legislation' for a Federal Production Incentive, with a follow-up Tuesday post claiming 'Great bipartisan response and support in Congress.'
- While some Republicans worry about 'covering a multimillion-dollar salary for a celebrity,' Democratic Senator Adam Schiff posted on X that he was 'in strong agreement with the President,' and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos called tax incentives 'much better' than tariffs.
