Kristen Stewart discusses leaving US during Trump presidency

Kristen Stewart is considering relocating from the U.S. due to President Trump’s proposed 100% tariff on films made abroad, which she finds “terrifying” for the industry. In an interview, she expressed that she cannot work freely in America and has filmed her directorial debut, “The Chronology of Water,” in Latvia instead. Stewart criticized the entertainment industry as a “capitalist hell” that marginalizes artists and emphasized the need for systemic change. She plans to continue her filmmaking career in Europe while maintaining a connection to American audiences.
