Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien has publicly endorsed President Donald Trump's tariffs on foreign films, emphasizing the union's support for policies aimed at revitalizing domestic manufacturing and production in the motion picture industry. O'Brien highlighted that the union represents hundreds of thousands of workers affected by outsourcing and strikes in the film sector, and he criticized Hollywood studios for their practice of moving production overseas. He called for a bipartisan approach to encourage development and manufacturing within the United States. The Teamsters' backing of the 100 percent tariff on imported movies reflects their broader goal of bringing jobs back to American workers and combating what they describe as Hollywood's 'un-American addiction to outsourcing.'
