The US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik said that imposing tariffs on remote islands such as Heard Island and McDonald Islands is to prevent other countries from exploiting loopholes on these islands to circumvent US trade rules.
"If you take them off the list, other countries will use them to take advantage of the United States," he told CBS News.
Our media, netizens, including many big V's, are hyping up how absurd and funny it is to impose tariffs on无人islands.
