There are valuable things out there other than "physical goods".

Well, how are going to charge for them?

For example, how to deal with Steam? most of the games I buy there (Baldurs Gate 3 for e.g.) are not made in the USA.

And USA get 30% (or 20% depending on the studio) of the price you paid. Do you use Android, windows or Apple, or any licensed software?
> any physical USA goods

Do you see the word "physical" in my original comment? And me saying that I don't buy such things?

I will admit to buying Intel CPUs, but aren't they manufactured in the Far East?

I am from EU and the only physical idem proudly wearing "Made in USA" label I saw over the years is the Urimat pad in public toilets.

P.S. Upon inspecting my memory, I think the other one was an HP cesium clock, but that was many years ago.

HP oscilloscopes were pretty good too, back when . But I haven't been there for many years, and I guess you can get good, cheap, LCD ones today for much less money.

And rotating rusty hard drives, I suppose. But still all gone.

And don't get me started on American urinals!

I responded specifically in your steam comment, not the original one, because i did not thing you original comment was wrong.
Intel have fabs in the US, Israel and Asia. So it depends.
At this point, capital controls might be back on the menu?
The tariffs are only about physical goods though, so I'm not sure how this point is relevant?
