President Donald J. Trump said Friday that he is working with Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and other members of Congress to pass a new bill. It aims to bring film and television production back to the United States. The bill is called the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act.

“The support and popularity of doing this, and bringing Entertainment back to the United States of America, has been unbelievable!” the president wrote on Truth Social. “It was MADE IN AMERICA, and must STAY IN AMERICA.”

The president named Republicans who are working on the bill. They include Sens. John Cornyn, Steve Daines, Bernie Moreno, Tim Sheehy and Thom Tillis, along with Reps. Jason Smith, Nathaniel Moran and Brian Jack.

Mr. Trump said the industry had mostly moved to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries because of tax breaks those nations offer. “Importantly, hundreds of thousands of Blue Collar Workers will be positively affected, BIG TIME, by the passage of this Bill,” he wrote. He added, “The amount of money spent on these Tax Incentives will be made up tenfold by the money pouring into the Treasury’s coffers.”

Mr. Scott introduced the Senate bill, S. 5552, on Sept. 24. It was sent to the Senate Finance Committee. Rep. Moran introduced a matching bill in the House.

According to Mr. Scott’s office, the bill followed the president’s call for Congress to create a federal tax break for production. It would set up a 20 percent base tax credit for qualifying film, television and visual effects projects made in the United States.

Extra 5 percent bonus credits would also be offered, with a top total of 30 percent. They would be available for work such as productions in rural Opportunity Zones, in places the federal government has declared disaster zones, and by independent producers.

“We cannot stand by as more and more American film production moves overseas, taking jobs, investment, and an important source of American cultural influence with it,” Mr. Scott said when he introduced the bill. “This legislation will create jobs in communities across America, support local economies, and help ensure that the next generation of iconic American films is made right here in America.”

The president said meetings are being held regularly to move the bill forward. “Meetings are being set up, routinely, with the Leaders of both Parties in order to, GET THIS DONE!” he wrote. He closed his post with “MAKE OUR ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY GREAT AGAIN!”
