• Trump Tariff Disruption: The 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies has created regulatory uncertainty, with Paramount Global’s stock dropping 6.2% and broader media sector losses (Netflix -5.8%, Disney -4.3%).

Social media sentiment reflects fears of declining competitiveness and legal risks, with a 30% spike in negative sentiment over 24 hours.
