Whats the background here?
The tariffs were bigger than many expected in both number and scope, with abaseline tariff (a.k.a.
tax) being imposed on imports from all countries.
These islands, an Arctic territory of Australia, stand out because no humans live on them.
Instead, the islands are populated by penguins, seals, and birds like albatrosses.
Lovely and beautiful, but yeah, no exports.
According toAxios, the islands were included because they are an Australian territory.
What does the internet think?
