https://www.npr.org/2025/04/03/nx-s1-5350897/trump-tariffs-heard-mcdonald-remote-islands"The Trump administration's long list of nations targeted by forthcoming U.S. tariffs includes several territories so remote that they don't have any permanent human residents.
Heard Island and McDonald Islands
One prime example is the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, an external Australian territory made up of volcanically active subantarctic islands. They face at least on paper what the Trump administration is calling a reciprocal tariff of 10%, even though the islands had zero trade with the U.S. last year, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, and have no human population."
