Of course they do. Note that according to them it's because "everyone gets tariffs, no exceptions".
Well, except the likes of Russia or North Korea, of course. They seem to escape what even the penguins couldn't.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The penguins should retaliate and raise tariff to 1000 000 000.00001% on US goods to make Trump use a bigger board.
Hahaha, yeah; foreign countries are shipping products to uninhabited Arctic islands hoping the penguins know how to print fresh labels and re-route the shipments...
Well yeah. They can't admit that they're a bunch of fuck ups. Doubling down is all they know how to do.
Why ? No point of it.
everyone gets tariffs period its tariffs that is = or less than the tariff on the usa so if penguin has 0 tarrif on the USA then the USA would give a tariff of 0% if a country says ok 20% then the usa would tariff 15 to 20% that's only fair its like somebody coming to your flee market and demanding you pay them for the right to use your flee market
-
The island has zero huamns, there are no exports of any kind, nor any imports. From or to anyone.
-
Australia had 0% tariffs with USA (under the Aus-USA Free Trade Agreement) but still got hit with a 10% tariff, again the tariff rate was and still is 0%, but we still got 10%.
It's straight forward hitting everyone with a tariff, except his master Putin and Putin's boyfriend Kim.
Trying to read whatever the hell you tried to write here was as difficult as reading stream of consciousness shit from Joice. I have no idea what you are even trying to say. Perhaps use periods and commas and capital letters??
Except that is not the strategy at all. They actually used a formula that has nothing to do with the countries tariffs, only with how much they import/export from/to the USA. Why else would they put a tariff on an uninhabited island? The penguins surely had a 0% tariff policy with the USA, which according to your logic would mean, that they would get a 0% tariff as per trumps policy. Instead, all tariffs are at least 10%, because if you actually applied the formula to all countries, some would end up with negative tariffs! I strongly recommend this video by Stand-up Maths to understand how the numbers are actually calculated.
