5 astounding prices in the “Liberation” plan of Trump – Politico

Although it was the Australian Rotes aquatic birds that made the headlines for having been touched by a 10%”reprisals” tariff, spare a reflection to the Penguins who find themselves under the European jurisdiction.

Only 15 of the 778 islands which constitute the Falkland Islands, a territory in the United Kingdom abroad, are inhabited by humans. Overall, penguins are more numerous than people from around 300 to 1.

This did not prevent the Trump administration from Gifler the Falklanders with a price of 41% feathers. The United Kingdom, on the other hand, has done a fairly good job with Trump to speak gentle to be blossomed than with a price of 10%.

… but soft on seals

Trump’s prices also came after a Norwegian island with an indigenous population of exactly zero people. Jan Mayen, located in the northeast of Iceland, was affected by a tariff of 10% despite an economy practically. The only people parked there are Norwegian meteorologists and soldiers – and they are more numerous than seals.

Svalbard, another territory of the Norwegian island. Svalbard had a mining industry, but its human population of 3,000 men now works mainly in tourism. The last active mine closes this year.

The United States has actually had a trade surplus with the two islands in 2024, although only $ 400,000, and neither Svalbard nor Jan Mayen have exported anything to the United States so that Svalbard seals can probably go back to the important sampling of polar bear sampling rather than navigating international trade barriers.
