Now put in dollar amounts instead of number of countries.50+ in less than a week
Of course you're stuck on "penguins" and did zero research to see why a particular island was tariffed. It was actually a brilliant move and I hadn't even thought about transshipments until the whole penguin thing came up. I've used similar tactics in the past when shipping ocean containers out of Mexico into Korea when they had a 30% tariff on Mexican avocados. It wasn't too difficult to exploit certain loopholes and avoid tariffs. The 30% tariffs have since been removed so I'm back to straight into port of final destination.

But there are no people on the island to make a shipping agreement with anyone and penguins can't build a transshipment hub.
And Reunion IS France which is the EU for most trade purposes.
Why did it have a separate listing?

The penguin islands are Australian territory. If the penguins are some kind of rogue outlaw traders, the Aussies need to be notified.
It gets better:
In a list of countries and territories published Wednesday, the Trump White House had said it would slap duties of 37 percent on imports from Indian Ocean territory La Reunion and 50 percent on those coming from tiny Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon in the north Atlantic.
La Reunion (Reunion Island) – part of the European Union's shared customs area, but considered a separate territory for tax purposes – will instead face a 10-percent tariff, according to a version of the list made available Friday.
Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon – technically not part of the European Union – will be hit with the same levy.
That would bring the two territories into line with other French overseas territories Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana and Mayotte.
Were there already negotiations? Did they skip to the head of the line somehow?
Israel leading from its vista of moral clarity.
Are they going to pay us for all the military aid since 1948 or is that no countsies?
Wow look at Rand
Dur?
How is going after Penguin Island a huge victory for you other than it's just part of "the 50"
John Hagee would throw a huge fit if we told Israel to pay up
Lol "brilliant move"
ing A the back flips you guys do to protect your Trump.
.... that you say you didn't even vote for
"Look at me, I'm the captain now"
Why are you trying to conflate an island used for transshipments with my quote talking about 50 world leaders lining up to negotiate with the US? You're just flailing at this point.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that you are fine with the US getting cucked on trade.Lol "brilliant move"

You're saying it's a brilliant move. Put it in real world dollars instead of just re running around ing footballs in the end zone
Hey dip have you seen the Dow lately? I'm not into imaginary scoreboard like you Trump s. I'm into real world finance. Particularly my own.
Precisely.
Not me...F.D.I.C.
Precisely.
The island isn't used for anything. It's a volcano with 100,000 penguins. Your little avocado smuggling anecdote does not apply at all.
Holocaust!!!
And for different countries to ship thru to the U.S..
The party is over, Dumper. over-over.
