In a surprising move, former President Trump has announced a 10% tariff on the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands, remote territories near Antarctica known for their unique wildlife, including a significant population of penguins. The tariffs have sparked confusion and mockery, as these isolates are home to more wildlife than humans. Critics are questioning the rationale behind imposing tariffs on locations with little to no export activity, especially as many other nations, including Russia and Iran, were notably excluded from these measures. This unusual extension of international trade policy raises numerous questions about the implications for global trade and diplomatic relations.
