Tariffs
-
The world's remotest corners couldn't hide from US President Donald Trump's global tariffs onslaught Wednesday -- even the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands.
The Australian territory in the sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean was slapped with 10 percent tariffs on all its exports, despite the icy archipelago having zero residents -- other than many seals, penguins and other birds.
Strings of ocean specks around the globe, including Australia's Cocos (Keeling) Islands and the Comoros off the coast of Africa, were likewise subjected to 10 percent new tariffs.
Another eye-catching inclusion in the tariffs list was Myanmar, which is digging out from an earthquake that left nearly 3,000 people dead, and whose exports to the United States will now face 44 percent in new levies.

Kindness is as kindness does. Got to be fair.
I tolerated 10 minutes of the Trump(CF) address before his self-professed humbleness, the meekness & humility of his demeanor, became too much to bear.

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din. We watched a few episodes of As Time Goes By instead.
