Netflix and Warner Bros. each fell about 3% after President Trump announced plans to impose 100% tariffs on movie productions made outside the U.S. The proposal directly affects major studios with global operations and raises concerns about the future of their international distribution models. Stocks in the sector reacted with widespread declines.
