i'm going to be honest, i never know in these discussions

the pro-tariff people are all over the place when they discuss tariffs. they talk about "fair deals" and then bring up "IP theft" when the 2 aren't related at all. i think most are just parroting talking points like leftists and don't want to understand how the sausage is made

it's much easier to just throw out buzzwords

As a condition of trade they are.

IP theft is a partial misnomer in that it is a catch-all including everything from pseudo-espionage, to patent-copyright infringement, to trademark violations. Free access to US markets is both the issue and goal driven by the Trump tariffs. Free access to our markets is a privilege.

Trump has laid down a marker. Either others will conform to our IP standards and unencumbered exchange of goods and services, or their privileged access to US markets will be pared back.
