'Nowhere's safe': How an island of penguins ended up on Trump tariff list 2 days ago Share Save Ottilie Mitchell and Tiffanie Turnbull BBC News, Sydney Annelise Rees The remote Heard and McDonald Islands haven't been visited by humans in almost a decade
Two tiny, remote Antarctic outposts populated by penguins and seals are among the obscure places targeted by the Trump administration's new tariffs.
Heard and McDonald Islands - a territory which sits 4,000km (2,485 miles) south-west of Australia - are only accessible via a seven-day boat trip from Perth, and haven't been visited by humans in almost a decade.
Australian trade minister Don Farrell told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) that the tariffs were "clearly a mistake".
"Poor old penguins, I don't know what they did to Trump, but, look, I think it's an indication, to be honest with you, that this was a rushed process."
