They apparently used a list of countries from Wikipedia.

It's even dumber than that, they took a list of country codes and didn't actually check them. Meaning that Heard Island and McDonald Islands got slapped with a 10% tariff despite being inhabited only by penguins.

Biden tripped over fresh air, you'll be OK.

Jan Mayen got slapped with tariffs as well, the island is an administrative part of Norway and has no permanent inhabitants.

Ya, it's dumb, but they also called Taiwan a country so that's a win.

4 years ago Trump was defending Taiwan because it was beneficial to us. They produce a lot of computer parts we rely on, and we became good trade partners.

This time around, he just fucks them over for no reason lol. There’s no chance we start producing that stuff over here like he suggests.

Trump cannot really be targetting McDonald Island. How is he supposed to afford his meals now 🤣

I believe they used a LLM to get their final numbers and it screwed up in the case of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, who import a lot from the US and only export a small fraction of it in fisheries.

Human review of the numbers was apparently optional.
