Trump imposed tariffs on 180 countries-including uninhabited places like the Heard and McDonald Islands, which have no population and zero exports to the U.S.

Yes, you read that right. We’re taxing nothing from no one.

Seen a few people suggesting they AI-generated the list. Imo unlikely - AI would've produced nonexistent places, listed same country twice w/ different rates, etc. More likely something like @andycraig.bsky.social suggests here - they just pulled up a list of states/territories and added them all.
reply
AI is dumb, but not as dumb as some people.
reply
My petpeeve for now is that the list is not organized in any coherent order?

The territories are randomly listed!
reply
Seems to be sorted by descending order of trade deficit
reply
Acho que não.

Se não Laos e Madagascar estariam mais próximos ao Vietnã.

E Brasil estaria com Argentina/Austrália e Reino Unido - em que o comércio americano é superavitário

Justo. Não cheguei a ver a lista a fundo

Except Russia, Belarus, DPRK and Cuba.

There's an actual list and none of these places are on it.

You've been had, and should retract accordingly.

Newsweek is missing a bunch of countries. There were more countries added via Truthsocial and the Whitehouse:

reply

reply
I'm stick with the Forbes list is wrong.

There was a (very dumb) calculation used to determine the tariff rate. For places with which we have no trade (or are uninhabited) that calculation would not have determined a rate.
reply
The list that Trump held up/posted did not include the countries with a 10% tariff where we have a trade surplus. That is apparently their "baseline."
reply
best bet is that they took the actual Factbook figures and ran it through the ridiculous formula a chatbot would suggest
reply
Actually, they *might* be AI generated since AI frequently gets things wrong and makes up answers. This is a very common problem. Search on “ai hallucination” for details. Ai will even create fake references if needed!

heck, there's different tariffs for Martinique, La Réunion ... does he not have any people there who know they're just ordinary French departments in the EU with €s the lot ? ... the DomToms as they're known ... going back to see can I find Guadeloupe, New Caledonia etc ...
reply
found Guadeloupe & French Guyane .. he hasn't carved out the Vatican yet either ...got Andorra & Monaco, someone was half awake ...it's hilarious for anyone who looked at an atlas at some point ...
reply
Now I'm wondering if us French could just send our stuff to French Guiana/Guadeloupe/Martinique and sell it from there to avoid the tariffs.

(Probably not, but it's still weird of them to include these in the list)
reply
He could at least pretend like he isn’t a puppet for Russia and mention them on the list!
reply
This sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting:
"The tariffs charged to the U.S. include currency manipulation and trade barriers, according to information provided by the administration—though the percentages could not be independently verified."

Love it - NewSpeak!

These are not "reciprocal tariffs". Plz. call out any reporters or pundits using this phrasing.

It’s iso 3166. The system that is used for the codes for internet top level domains.

It’s always used incorrectly by know nothing tech people to generate a list of countries, who don’t understand it also includes dependent territories and places of special interest.

GenAI will get it wrong too.

This feels like a bad slapstick comedy.

We did have a trade imbalance with them of $45,290 so take that Ronald. And, yes, that’s $45,290. Not any missing zeroes.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited. They are remote, subantarctic islands in the southern Indian Ocean, administered by Australia. Due to their harsh climate, isolation, and lack of infrastructure, there are no permanent human settlements.

Has nobody noticed?, The United States send out their President to present his new Import Taxes and he's waving around a bunch of numbers on the back of an oversized cigarette packet. I was expecting something like an Apple or Microsoft presentation but no. NO FUCKING CLASS WHATSOEVER!

Did he just go thru a list of countries/locations and slap an arbitrary tariff number on them?

...I shouldn't really be even asking that, should I?
reply
It seem's that they took the CIA list of nations and territory and got into a random game of creating tariffs based on ... various tthings (specific product tariffs , trade balance etc etc...).
reply
Pretty much. Apparently they divided trade balance by US imports, divided that by two, and in a lot of cases shat all over that and adjusted to whatever they felt like.

I have no idea why someone'd kill their own economy like that. Trade's just going to be planned around US instead of with it.

So you're saying they won't retaliate. Sounds like a free win. maybe tack some more 0s on there to look big n manly.

According to Wikipedia, we literally *cannot* import from those islands except by trading with Australia.

"The islands, which are uninhabited, can be reached only by sea, which from Australia takes two weeks in the vessels normally used to access them."
reply
*correction!*

Helicopter landings have happened. Seal oil was made there once. Heard was once claimed by the UK.

Other sources tell us you need a permit though.

Also this: "Despite the islands having no imports or exports, the United States implemented a 10% tariff against them in April 2025."
reply
You literally need a permit from Australia to even visit, they're some of the most remote places on Earth.

"Being World Heritage listed and located within an IUCN 1a Strict Nature Reserve ... anyone wishing to visit the islands must first obtain a permit from the Australian Antarctic Division."
reply
THAT'S RIGHT! THEY MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. THIS SUBDUCTION WILL NOT STAND!

They must release the riches within the basaltic and plagioclastic materials to Make America Great Again. The faulklands have created an accretionary wedge in our economic stability for far too long.

And Reunion Island is...part of France.
One of our Départements D'Outre Mer.
That means you effectively put a 37% tariff on a part of France.

50% on another part, St Pierre and Miquelon …

10% on Mayotte, another overseas department.

My great-grandfather used to run an import/export business delivering product from St Pierre et Miquelon back in the prohibition days. I'm told it was a profitable operation.

It is a bit too far from West Indies to move Reunion Island though.

I'm just amazed Trump would tariff anything called McDonalds.

Norfolk Island is part of Australia and not a country. I do not believe they export anything. Trump is bat shit crazy!
reply
If the smart folks are right about the tariffs, then the quantum of exports doesn't matter, just the trade balance.

In other words, (Norfolk Island being Australian aside) the tariff rate was probably based on the sale of a couple hand made quilts on eBay.
reply
Just in case those birds get any ideas, goddamnit.

It's called thinking one step ahead. If he didn't tariff them, all these global brands would move there and set up shop

30% on Endor, Gondor, and Lindor.
