Trump imposes 10% duty on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands
The list of Donald Trump's duties includes the uninhabited islands of Heard and McDonald.
This was reported by Censor.NET.
This is an uninhabited archipelago in the southern Indian Ocean consisting of two main islands - Heard and McDonald. It belongs to Australia.
The islands are home to large populations of penguins, seals and seabirds.
There is no permanent population on the islands, they are visited by tourists (without landing) and scientific expeditions.
People have landed on the island only twice in history - in 1971 and 1980.
As a reminder, Trump signed an executive order imposing a minimum 10 per cent tariff on almost all goods entering the US. For some countries, the tariffs are higher. In particular, China - 34%, the European Union - 20%.
Later, it became known that Trump had declared a state of emergency in the country's economy.
