Kristen Stewart has indicated she will probably not remain in the United States amid Donald Trump's return to the presidency.

In a recent interview with *The Sunday Times* (also referenced in reports as *The Times*), the actress and first-time director voiced strong concerns over Trump's proposed 100% tariff on films produced outside the U.S., which she described as "terrifying" for the industry. Stewart, who shot her directorial debut *The Chronology of Water* in Latvia because she felt it would have been "impossible" to make in the States, cited an inability to work freely in America and a desire for greater creative independence.

She described the current Hollywood environment as part of a broader "capitalist hell" that imposes barriers, particularly for marginalized voices, and stated that "reality is breaking completely under Trump." While she has no intention of fully abandoning American audiences, Stewart expressed plans to base her filmmaking career more in Europe, saying she wants to "make movies in Europe and then shove them down the throat of the American people."

Stewart, who splits her time between Los Angeles and New York, emphasized she doesn't want to "give up completely" on the U.S. but sees moving abroad as necessary for the creative freedom she seeks. Her comments reflect ongoing tensions in the film industry following Trump's policy proposals aimed at prioritizing domestic production.
