Trump urged Congress to advance a proposed federal film and television tax credit.

Variety reported that Trump renewed his appeal on November 13, 2026, for Congress to advance the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act (MPTERA). He said he was working with senators and representatives and that bipartisan meetings were being arranged to move the bill forward. Trump cited what he described as production and jobs moving abroad in making his case for the proposal. A description published by the House sponsor says the introduced bill would provide a 20% tax credit on qualifying U.S. production labor expenses, with qualifying bonuses that could raise the rate to 30%. The measure remains proposed legislation, not an enacted tax credit.
