Summary
The U.S. imposed a 29% tariff on Norfolk Island, nearly triple the 10% rate applied to the rest of Australia, with no explanation from the White House.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed confusion, noting Norfolk Island’s limited economic activity. The territory has a population of about 2,000 and minimal exports.
Other remote territories like Christmas Island and Heard and McDonald Islands also received tariffs, though the latter are uninhabited.
Nope, my bet is they set it based on the name alone and aren’t even aware it’s part of Australia.
Probably went: “Norfolk Island? Sounds like somewhere we can push around, 29%”.
They’re not sending their best people.
100% this. Morons all the way down
All the way up, remember that Trump is their lackey
