Trump puts tariffs on Penguins. Trump has imposed 29% tariffs on Heard and McDonald Islands. These are uninhabited dependencies of Australia - except for penguins. They are near Antarctica and it is not thought anyone has visited there for 10 years.
 
The mind boggles.

What’s next? Putting a huge tariff on popular chocolately layered lunch biscuits?
 
The suggestion is they used chatGPT (or Grok) to construct the list, basing it on internet TLDs:

If the Oz govt was on the ball it would cut a deal with Trump: up the tariff on the H & M islands to 100% in return for reducing it to zero for the rest of the country. All the winning, except for the penguins, and they don't vote.

Norfolk Island has been confused with the county of Norfolk in England ....according to the Guardian ...

some cases involving Norfolk Island, which is 1,600km north-east of Sydney and has a population of 2,188, the confusion appears to have resulted from the fact that the company’s address or port of departure is Norfolk, UK, or the destination is Norfolk, Virginia in the US, or a company’s registered address in New Hampshire (NH) has been listed instead as Norfolk Island (NI).
 
We all know that Trump does not do detail or think beyond a headline. The problem with the penguins is that attitude seems to have descended into the minions that are left who actually did the work and prepared the documentation. If they don't care then heaven help America.
