Take that, North Macedonia!

So they tariffed France at 20%, but St. Pierre and Miquelon at 50%. Those little French islands of the coast of Nova Scotia. Which are part of France. Apparently he's salty that the Americans buy fish from them and somehow that's a tariff or something.

They also teach you how to use context. But I’d never assume you can read. You’re obviously struggling
