  Is it legal for tariffs to depend on who is importing the goods? I thought that by law tariffs could only be based on the type of good and the country of origin.

    It's not legal for the US president to impose tariffs at all. But the US is a dictatorship de facto now, so roll a die.

  No he is just trying to extort tech companies to make announcements about US investment that they will never deliver on.
