Speaking to The Times, Stewart said she filmed the project in Latvia because producing it in the U.S. would have been \u201cimpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReality is breaking completely under Trump,\u201d she said, criticizing his threat to impose steep tariffs on movies made outside the U.S. Stewart described the proposal as \u201cterrifying,\u201d adding that it creates instability for filmmakers and discourages creative freedom. Trump previously claimed the American film industry was \u201cdying a very fast death\u201d and argued that foreign productions were harming domestic movie-making.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p>While the tariffs have not yet been implemented, Stewart said the uncertainty alone has already had an impact. Currently splitting her time between Los Angeles and New York, Stewart admitted she may not remain in the U.S. long-term. \u201cI can\u2019t work freely there,\u201d she said, though she added she doesn\u2019t want to leave entirely. Instead, she plans to make films in Europe and release them for American audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart\u2019s criticism also revives a long-running tension with Trump, dating back to 2012 when he publicly commented on her personal life during a highly publicized relationship scandal. Years later, Stewart has dismissed his past remarks as \u201cweird\u201d and unnecessary. The Chronology of Water opens in theaters on February 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristen Stewart has spoken out against Donald Trump\u2019s proposed tariff policies targeting the film industry, saying the current political climate has made it difficult for her to&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
