Trump’s Tariffs Hit Even Remote Islands

President Trump announced new tariffs on Wednesday, including Heard Island and McDonald Islands.
Trump aimed to upend global trade, targeting countries with trade surpluses.
The tariffs included a 10% tariff for Heard Island and McDonald Islands, an Australian territory.
The islands are remote and seldom visited; there have been about 240 visits to Heard Island since 1855.
The tariffs on remote islands exemplify that nowhere is exempt, though their impact is likely minimal.
