President Trump’s tariffs already severely impacting Port of Long Beach, CEO says
LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) — Southern California ports are starting to feel the effects of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The Trump administration continues to say the current volatility will be temporary and worth it to secure more favorable trade deals and bring manufacturing back. But, nearly a month after Trump announced the tariffs on China, the port of Long Beach is already seeing an impact — and it’s not good. “We are at a critical point at the Port of Long Beach. We have an expectation of reduced business somewhere in the neighborhood of 35%, could be as much as 40% in the coming months due to tariff uncertainty,” said Mario Cordero, the CEO of Port of Long Beach. Those who work on the docks and truckers are mainly paid by the hour, and fewer ships coming in means less work. “There’s a no-win situation in a trade war. You have 145% tax on products coming from China,” Cordero said. “On the other hand, the impact on U.S. exporters, they’re subject to 125% tax on exports that go to China, so in both situations, the to and from, are going to impact both countries in terms of their respective economies.” So far, Trump’s tariffs have focused on goods, but it appears the president is moving to intellectual property, announcing he’s looking at a 100% tariff on any and all movies produced outside the United States. In a post on Truth Social, he wrote, “The movie industry in America is dying a very fast death. Other countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States.” In a response on X, Gov. Gavin Newsom pointed the president to California’s film and television tax credit, in the hopes of “making America film again.” He’s asking Trump to get onboard and is calling for a national incentive, modeled after California’s film and television tax credit. “California built the film industry – and we’re ready to bring even more jobs home. We’ve proven what strong state incentives can do. Now it’s time for a real federal partnership to Make America Film Again. POTUS, let’s get it done,” he wrote. But, will tariffs make it cheaper to produce films in the U.S.? “This is not just with a flip of a button, suddenly movies are going to come back and shoot in the U.S. It means that it’s actually going to be far more expensive,” said Manori Ravindran with The Ankler. “This really won’t help U.S. studios and producers in any way unless, at the state level, federal level, there are supports put in place.” In a post on LinkedIn, Hollywood producer Randy Greenberg wrote, “Putting a tariff on movies shot outside the U.S. will increase the cost of shooting and the studios will lobby the exhibitors to raise ticket prices and then, the audience will skip the theatre and then… well you see where this is going.” “When you think about co-producers. Well, it is an American movie, but it’s filmed primarily in the U.K., and so, does that fall under Trump’s tariff, sort of, strategy?” Ravindran asked. There’s also a fear that the possible tariffs on production outside the U.S. could be met with retaliatory tariffs from Europe and Canada. Copyright © 2025 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.

City settles with Grit Development for $986,500 to advance historic theater restoration ⋆ The Palm Springs Post
Kalura Trattoria’s patio seating, seen here at left, will be removed when the city takes over the space from property owner Grit Development. It was announced Friday that the parties had settled a legal battle about the patio property. Palm Springs officials announced a settlement agreement with Grit Development on Friday that resolves a legal dispute over property access rights needed for the restoration of the historic Plaza Theatre, with the city agreeing to pay nearly $1 million and construct a new outdoor dining patio. The agreement, which includes a $986,500 payment to Grit, secures a permanent easement on land adjacent to the theater that city officials say is crucial for the long-planned restoration project. “As dedicated investors in Palm Springs, GRIT is grateful to have reached a positive resolution with the City regarding our downtown property,” said Michael Braun, president of Grit, in a statement sent late Friday evening. “While the process brought its challenges, we respect the city’s vision — and the leadership of (Plaza Theatre Foundation President) J.R. Roberts — in restoring the iconic Plaza Theater, a future landmark for the entire community.” As part of the settlement, the city will build a new outdoor dining patio for Kalura Trattoria, a restaurant located on Grit property next to the project site. The patio will be constructed on public sidewalk space and include seating for 60 people, lighting, misting and music systems, a network connection, and permanent shade structures. The city will grant Grit a rent-free easement to use the space as long as the restaurant remains in operation, according to settlement documents. “The City of Palm Springs is pleased to have reached a positive resolution with Grit Development regarding access rights to the historic Plaza Theatre,” said Amy Blaisdell, the city’s communications director. “From the beginning, the city’s focus has been on ensuring public safety while preserving one of Palm Springs’ most iconic cultural landmarks.” The settlement resolves an eminent domain action filed by the city last December, and a subsequent cross-complaint from Grit that claimed inverse condemnation related to the easement and adjacent properties. City officials said the resolution clears the way for the Plaza Theatre to reopen this fall, when it will “once again host world-class performers and contribute significantly to the vitality of our downtown.” In addition to the financial compensation and patio construction, the city agreed to reimburse up to $15,000 of Grit’s legal fees related to the settlement. The settlement also includes provisions for the city to make improvements to the courtyard area in front of the theater, creating what officials described as a “cohesive, pedestrian-friendly public space” in coordination with nearby businesses. According to Blaisdell, the restored theater will serve as a “cornerstone to the city’s downtown revitalization, delivering millions of dollars in economic impact and enriching Palm Springs’ vibrant arts and culture scene.” The agreement includes a provision for future restroom access for Plaza Theatre guests through Grit’s nearby Plaza Las Flores property if the city or its theater operators lease space there, though this would be governed by a separate agreement. Both parties agreed to indemnify each other from liability arising from the project, and the court is expected to enter a final judgment allowing the city to formally acquire the easement. Source link
