Two tiny Australian islands have just been hit by U.S. tariffs. The Heard and McDonald Islands, completely uninhabited and tucked away in the Antarctic, now face a 10% U.S. export tariff despite having no residents — or real exports. Meanwhile, Norfolk Island, with just over 2,100 people and a modest palm seed export industry, has been slapped with a 29% tariff under former President Donald Trump's sweeping trade regime. With annual trade barely touching a few hundred thousand dollars, the move has left locals amused and economists scratching their heads. Watch to find out how ghost islands and palm seeds got entangled in a global trade war.
