President Donald Trump on Monday called for immediate bipartisan legislation to create federal tax incentives for the movie, television, and entertainment industry.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said Congress should approve a Federal Production Incentive to create entertainment jobs in America. He noted that meetings are being set up with leaders of both parties to craft the legislation quickly.

Trump highlighted the industry's challenges, stating that Hollywood is getting very little work as productions have moved to Canada and other countries. He pointed out that the lack of incentives hurts California and other states.

The push follows discussions with actor Jon Voight, whom Trump has described as his Hollywood ambassador. Voight has advocated for federal tax credits to boost domestic production.

Industry proposals include a 20 percent federal tax credit for labor costs on qualifying productions. The credit would stack with existing state incentives and include requirements that most work go to U.S. personnel.

Trump argued that the cost of the incentives would be offset many times over by increased tax revenue from revived economic activity. He said the measure would benefit all of America and restore the United States as the motion picture capital of the world.

The call has drawn support from some Democrats, including Sen. Adam Schiff of California, who expressed strong agreement and urged Congress to pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back good-paying jobs.

Bipartisan legislation could be introduced in the House as soon as September. Studios, labor unions, and members of Congress from production hubs have lobbied for federal support to compete with generous subsidies offered by foreign countries.

Trump emphasized that the effort should be bipartisan given the economic losses in largely Democratic states.
