Kristen Stewart recently revealed that she might consider leaving the United States if President Donald Trump continues imposing harsh tariffs on films made outside the country. She said the situation makes it difficult for her to work freely in the U.S., and she hopes to continue making films in Europe. While she acknowledges that things have been difficult under the Trump administration, Stewart expressed hope that people at least try to create a reality they desire.
Kristen Stewart talks about leaving U.S
In an interview with The Times, Kristen Stewart shared her thoughts on the tariff imposition on films made outside the U.S. and what she thinks of her future in the country. She criticized the Trump administration by saying, “Reality is breaking completely under Trump. But we should take a page out of his book and create the reality we want to live in.” When asked if she would continue to stay in the US, Stewart responded that she might not.
She explained, “Probably not. I can’t work freely there. But I don’t want to give up completely. I’d like to make movies in Europe and then shove them down the throat of the American people.” Previously, the ‘Twilight’ actress, who made her directorial debut with the Chronology of Water, warned the creatives during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She said, “Stay vigilant, and look alive. [Trump’s] shadow is bleak. You could almost say opaque. I think we’re all looking over our shoulders, going, ‘Holy shit.’ The slippage is just terrifying.”
Released on December 5, 2025, in the US, the biographical psychological drama follows a young woman who survives an abusive childhood and goes on to become a swimmer. She faces several challenges and difficulties before finding solace in writing. Apart from Stewart, the series cast includes Imogen Poots, Anna Wittowsky, Angelika Mihailova, Thora Birch, Susannah Flood, Tom Sturridge, Kim Gordon, Michael Epp, Earl Cave, Esmé Creed-Miles, Jim Belushi, Julienne Restall, and Charlie Carrick.
