Summary

The U.S. imposed a 29% tariff on Norfolk Island, nearly triple the 10% rate applied to the rest of Australia, with no explanation from the White House.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed confusion, noting Norfolk Island’s limited economic activity. The territory has a population of about 2,000 and minimal exports.

Other remote territories like Christmas Island and Heard and McDonald Islands also received tariffs, though the latter are uninhabited.

          Maybe I’m stupid but I can’t find an example of this.

          I’ve seen him being critical. I’ve seen him asking the president to have empathy.

          I seen one bit back when he was first elected where he said to give him a chance. At that point nobody really knew what he was going to do. We were all hoping he was just being a showman to get elected.

          I’m not picking a fight, I’m just genuinely asking for some evidence that he supports Trump because I can’t find it.
