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.

As they claimed it is reciprocal which means that those places already apply tariffs to USA as stated in the list presented.
So could you really believe anything Trump’s administration said?
Asking the question is answering it .
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.
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.
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 ...
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 ...
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."

The freshwater situation on Diego Garcia atoll really is amazing (just came from reading the Wikipedia article). And reading how they cleared folks off the island, oh hell "cruelty is the point" style actions have been in Brit and US repertoire for a long time, huh.
With respect, two different parts of the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is closer to Maldives and is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory. Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited, and are two-thirds the distance between Madagascar and Antarctica. Australian territory.
Tariffs on the base exchange 😀
5 WH interns with less than 1 brain between them created a mess that made Trump an even bigger laughingstock than he was this morning.
Beyond the obvious, Trump being POTUS and all, I'm not sure if that's worse than MTG calling the Mariana Islands a foreign country she thought should be defunded 🤔
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.
They also might have gone off of a table of every country with an ISO code. I saw that in software I was working in a few weeks ago, Googled it, found they were uninhabited. (Everything was working fine and I left the data in there so it wouldn't break anything. )
I’d pay a couple of grand for someone to rework a Trump press event map to have “Gulf of Gilead” on it. Provided it appeared on camera before the change was noticed.
Why does it feel as though the American president had his staff run their fingers down the index of a high-school atlas, circa 1974? And then "create" tariffs?

Penguins are now anxious about all their exports to USA:
The territories are randomly listed!
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
You've been had, and should retract accordingly.

(Probably not, but it's still weird of them to include these in the list)

Tonight at 8, we investigate the emperor penguins teaching "climate change" and "gender equality" to your kids - all while waddling tax-free.
are already imposing a 10% tariff on US goods.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let's hear it for the Elephant Seals...
to hurt somebody.
I just switched to penguin eggs.
No wonder they want the Department of Education dismantled.
They would flunk their kindergarten.
Sad for the penguins though 😔😂

ROHAN IMPOSES RETALIATORY TARIFFS ON THE US
The morons interpreted EU’s ~20% VAT as a tariff. It’s not; it’s a sales tax on all products, imported or EU domestic.
