Penguins and seals, seals and penguinsand perhaps what remained of the glaciers: two tiny and remote Antarctic outposts populated by Penguini and Sun Fuoco are among the dark places targeted by the new rates of the Trumpian administration.
These are the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, a completely uninhabited Australian territory to which 10%duties are now imposed.
The beauty is that the Heard and McDonald islands are lands that are located in 4,000 km south-west of Australiaaccessible only by boat from Perth and have not been visited by human beings perhaps for almost a decade.
Yet, in its beautiful raw pattern on taxes around the world, the Tycoon announces retaliations on the right and missing for what he defined “Sleal commercial barriers on US products“And so also to terrible incorrect people of the penguins.
Like the rest of Australia, therefore, also the Heard and McDonald islands, as well as the Cocos Islands (Keeling) and the Christmas island, are now subject to a 10%rate. A 29% rate was set on the island of Norfolk, which is also an Australian territory and has a population of about 2,200 people.
And then there are the Norwegian archipelago of the Allasvis, the Falkland islands and the British territory of the Indian Ocean …
No place on earth is sure – said the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albaneseand is not wrong: this new regime threatens to unleash a global commercial war that could sweep away billions from economic growth.
The funniest memes (to take it to laugh)
Obviously, Donald Trump’s duties have become a kind of joke on social media, where the memes of the penguins have become viral:
