BlockBeats Note: The recent global tariff plan initiated by Trump includes Heard Island and McDonald Islands, as the islands are only inhabited by penguins and seals. These islands are an Australian external territory located in the Southern Ocean, 1,630 kilometers from Antarctica. Despite having no trade with the United States last year, these islands will be subject to a 10% tariff.
