Not any kind of expert, but from my research, Article 19.3 of the USMCA says that tariffs can't be imposed on digital products:

1. No Party shall impose customs duties, fees, or other charges on or in connection with the importation or exportation of digital products transmitted electronically, between a person of one Party and a person of another Party.

You act as if this administration is concerned with silly things like laws or that either the courts or Congress is going to stop him.

This isn’t hyperbole. Right now, Oracle and Akamai is illegally supporting TikTok even though a bipartisan law was passed and it was upheld by the conservative court because Trump said it was okay.

The USMCA is irrelevant. Almost everything hit by the tariffs is not allowed under USMCA. Trump has claimed an "emergency" to bypass Congress and the USMCA.

USMCA is defacto null and void.
