Did trump just put a 'reciprocal tariff' on Chagos Island?

Apparently the only inhabitants are US citizens at a US military base. 8-)

To Trump is taxing his own people in 'plain sight'.

Apparently the Chagos Islands are not US territory.

Ah yes it's British territory by the look of it and the USA has a base on on of the islands called Diego Garcia.

The UK forcibly removed all the 'native population' between the late 1960's and early 1970's then the USA set up it's military base.

The UK and Mauritus are engaged in an ongoing sovereignty dispute.

Apparently on UK and US citizens are allowed to go to the islands.

Yes, and a country about that size that was just devastated by an earthquake.
Cruel lies about the USA and it's current currency hegemony. Trump includes owning US dollars in his list of hostile acts by Chagos.

He’s put Tariffs on Heard and McDonald Islands which are just north of Antarctica and whose only residents are Penguins - total lunacy.

@Anniedlr He thinks the penguins are really people, cunningly disguised. After all, they are like us in that they walk upright...

Reciprocal is his word for the day. He tacks it onto every sentence, not knowing the meaning
😷
Soooo non-surprising that he'd do things without clear knowledge...

[Edit: "thongs" to "things" lol]
