Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman. President Trump says he believes many US Businesses are being helped by his tariffs on China. In an interview yesterday on NBC, Trump said small businesses are not going to need relief because they'll make money. Separately, Trump says he is instituting a 100% tariff on movies produced outside of the U.S. nPR's Mandalit del Barco reports.

On social media, Trump wrote that America's movie industry is dying a very fast death and that Hollywood is being devastated by other nations that draw filmmakers and studios away from the US with incentives, some something he calls a national security threat. His post did not give any details about his tariff plan, but it appears to be his solution to the fact that many American films and TV shows are produced internationally. Countries like Canada, the UK And Australia give productions lucrative tax incentives, rebates and grants. Trump blames California Governor Gavin Newsom for allowing that to happen, but Newsom has already proposed boosting his state's tax incentives. Mandalit del Barco, NPR News, Los Angeles.

Israel is seeking to limit the way that food and supplies are distributed to Palestinians in Gaza. NPR has learned the plan would shut down hundreds of community kitchens and food distribution points. Instead, Palestinians would be told to report to between four and 10 aid centers. NPR's Daniel Estrin reports. They would only be open in southern Gaza.

Israel says this whole operation is an attempt to isolate isolate aid from Hamas and to weaken the group. And an Israeli official tells us it's actually part of a bigger strategy to get Palestinian civilians to move en masse to a smaller, more consolidated area of Gaza so that the military can expand the territory that it's taking over in Gaza. And the army is already starting to call up more soldiers.
