The Guardian:
according to export data from the World Bank, the US imported US$1.4m (A$2.23m) of products from Heard Island and McDonald Islands in 2022, nearly all of which was “machinery and electrical” imports. It was not immediately clear what those goods were.
So apparently the penguins are exporting machinery to the US.
If it’s a trade war with penguins he wants, a trade war with penguins is what we’ll give him.
Penguins will from now on charge 50% extra for nature documentaries made about them. That’ll teach em.

They put a tariff on every country in the world except for Trump’s friends in Russia.
Shut up and be ready to welcome your deported co-penguins from US zoos.
Hey, those suits didn’t just come from nowhere.
Oh boy… Penguins about to apply that nasty tariff on Tuxedos.
The Trump Administration doesn’t want to just stop at mere racism and bigotry, they’re going speciesist to!
You kid, but it feels me with sense of “is this a pointless action or will it fuck me over down the line?”
