Kristen Stewart has slammed Donald Trump’s ‘terrifying’ tariff proposals targeting the movie industry, admitting she can’t ‘work freely’ in the US anymore.
The actress achieved global stardom as Bella Swan in the Twilight saga and has since turned her attention to indie projects, including her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, which releases this February.
Having grown up in the entertainment industry – both her parents work behind-the-scenes in Hollywood – Kristen has seen the world of movies evolve and explained why, under Trump, the industry is no longer viable.

Speaking to The Times, the 35-year-old explained that she shot her upcoming feature film in Latvia because it would have been ‘impossible’ to do in the US.
“Reality is breaking completely under Trump,” she said. “But we should take a page out of his book and create the reality we want to live in.”

She also took aim at Trump’s threat to impose steep tariffs on movies made outside the US, calling it ‘terrifying’.
In a post on Truth Social, the President said that these tariffs were the result of the movie-making business being ‘stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries’, as he claimed it was ‘DYING a very fast death’.
Trump’s suggestion, made in September, has not yet come to fruition.
Currently, the Spencer star splits her time between Los Angeles and New York, but admits that might not be the case for much longer.
She told the publication she’s ‘probably not’ going to remain in the US, adding: “I can’t work freely there. But I don’t want to give up completely.”
