Introduction
The Trump administration has enacted tariffs that impact several regions, including the Arctic and various islands.
Context
Among those affected are Tokelau, a territory comprising three coral islands, which faces a
10% tariff by the U.S.
Developments
Christmas Island, home to a population of under
2,000, notably exports nothing to the United States. Conversely, Norfolk Island has emerged as a trade competitor to the U.S. economy.
Conclusion
These tariffs reflect the broader trade policies of the Trump administration and their implications for specific territories in the Pacific region.
