Trump's tariffs target Heard Island and McDonald Islands, Australian territory inhabited by penguins

With his announcement of widespread new tariffs on Wednesday, President Trump spared very few places on the globe from his effort to upend global trade — even the remote Heard Island and McDonald Islands, a sub-Antarctic Australian territory inhabited by penguins, but no people.

The islands were listed among the nations and territories hit by the Trump administration's universal 10% tariff, along with mainland Australia.

Managed by the Australian government's Antarctic Division, "the islands are unoccupied by humans and remain one of the world's least anthropogenically disturbed areas," according to an official website.
