Some of the world's least populated islands and areas have been affected US President Donald Trump's “mutual” taxes On all foreign trade partners – and some have more penguins and polar bears than trade agreements with the United States

Small tropical islands and remote checkpoints were included in the list of dozens of countries and regions in Antarctic and far north. Now face a baseline tariff of 10 %. Some outlets face goals, which are based on a trade deficit with the United States, with global leaders itching.

On Wednesday, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanian, whose country has included many areas found in Trump's prices, said Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanian said Wednesday that “there is no exemption on earth.”

None of the areas listed below was included National trade estimates report on foreign trade barriers US trade representative Jameson Greer's office was released on Monday.

The Trump administration has pointed to the results of the report to justify the new global tariff policy, which is also based on a national emergency on foreign trade, which Trump announced in his executive order on Wednesday.

“President Trump is taking immediate steps to protect the United States' national security and economy,” Greer said in a statement. “The current lack of trade gathering showed from our permanent trade deficit has weakened our economic and national security.”

Here are some of the goals of Trump's trade war that are raising eyebrows:

The Australian region is comprised of two islands in the remote Antarctic, which is uninhabited by the temporary Australian scientific campaigns. In 1954, a permanent research station was closed at Herd Island.

It is a home of penguins and seals in the islands and is close to two weeks' journey from the Australian soil.

Hardly any real trade with the United States – Official data suggests There is no import from the islands last year – the area faces a 10 % baseline tariff.

CIA World Factbook says Economic activities on the islands ended effectively in 1877, when the local seal's population was nearly killed, the elephant oil trade ended.

In the southern Pacific, three tropical coral islands build New Zealand area of ​​Tokilao, with 1,500 people.

The Australian outpost in the Indian Ocean – located 360 km south of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, with a population of less than 2,000 people, has used US heavy machinery for decades for mine phosphate.

“There is no trade between the Christmas island and the United States, except that we buy mining equipment through the tractors Singapore,” said Gordon Thomson, president of the island, Gordon Thomson, President of Christmas Island.

Thomson said, “Trade, if anything, is a US product in Christmas island. The only thing we export is phosphate and it goes to Malaysia, Indonesia, maybe Thailand and a little Australian soil.”

In 2023, the US exported $ 49 million to US goods to Christmas island, while importing only 4.4 million US dollars, According to the US Census Bureau – An outlet year in commercial relationships, which is otherwise relatively smaller.

The Trump administration connects a Norwegian peninsula house, and a home of about 2,500 people, and a volcanic island 1,100 km from John Mian, and imposed 10 % tax on the common area.

John Maine is completely uninhabited, in addition to a combined Norwegian military and climate research post and local population of polar bears, and partially covered by glaciers.

The main character of the Norwegian army is to monitor the Norwegian claims about sovereignty on the island.

US census data shows The United States has, in fact, has set a long -standing trade distance with Solbard and John Maine, which exports more than its imports.

In the last five years, the United States has imported the most from the region.

In this overseas British region, the Chagus Islands between Indonesia and Tanzania contain more than a thousand individual islands, with a common area of ​​only 60 square kilometers.

The largest island, Diego Garcia, has a joint British military base and 4,000 British and US troops, but there are permanent residents in the area.

The US Government's data shows Millions of dollars of US goods are exported to the area every year – possibly military equipment – in return very few goods are imported.
