Trump conflated Australia’s near universal GST (10%) with a tariff.
The tax applies to all items and services regardless of their country of origin. EVEN domestically produced things.
And then there is this...
The British Indian Ocean Territory was also slapped with a 10% reciprocal tariff, despite the fact that the only inhabitants of the islands are U.S.-U.K. military personnel and contractors, who occupy a Joint Military Facility in the territory.
And then there is this...
Among them, the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands – an Australian territory and one of the most remote places on Earth – was slapped with a 10% “reciprocal tariff.”
