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.

I just have a hard time believing that tariffs are somehow the most effective tool in negotiations with China and Mexico for completely different and complicated objectives
