Among the inanities of today's US tariff decisions: 10% tariffs on the Marshall Islands and on "Micronesia" (Federated States of, I presume). These countries have Compacts of Free Association with the US, meaning economic support, access to US programs, freedom of movement, and no duty on imports.

Nothing makes sense anymore
They also put a tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, where the only activity and human population is the US Base at Diego Garcia.
And Heard Island & the McDonald Islands, where no human has visited for a decade and the only inhabitants are penguins, seals and Antarctic birds

I’ve been there twice, these people don’t have any money or much to trade. They are United States territories. This bullshit action that the Republican Congress has sanctioned by their lack of response, is sickening.
No more "free" anything, under Trump; especially association.
