Trump did not even spare two uninhabited islands off the coast of Antarctica. A ten per cent tariff was placed on Heard and McDonald Islands, an Australian external territory. But the two islands are uninhabited and nothing is exported from them.
No people live on Heard Island, but it is home to penguins and seals. Heard and McDonald Islands are considered among the most remote places on Earth, and can only be reached by a two-week ship voyage from Australia.
The White House did not give any explanation as to why it had placed tariffs on exports from the islands.
