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

“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.”

Among the Republicans the president named as working on the measure were 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 largely moved to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries because of tax incentives 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, and it was referred to the Senate Finance Committee. Rep. Moran introduced a companion bill in the House. According to Mr. Scott’s office, the legislation followed the president’s call for Congress to create a federal production incentive and would establish a 20 percent base tax credit for qualifying film, television and visual effects projects produced in the United States. Optional 5 percent bonus credits, capped at a 30 percent total, would be available for work such as productions in rural Opportunity Zones or federally declared disaster zones and productions 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, closing his post with “MAKE OUR ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY GREAT AGAIN!”
