It is understood the sub-Antarctic islands were included among the
countries affected by Trump's tariffs because they are Australian
territory, sitting about 6000km from the mainland.
The Penguins are dipping a toe in global trade as they respond to Donald Trump's tariff on their remote Aussie island by 'exporting' pebbles. 'We figured if we're getting taxed, we might as well start exporting,' a feathered spokesperson is quoted as saying on the website.
The product hitting the company's shelves: pebbles. Customers can buy either a $10 digital one or a physical one for a donation of between $50 and $200 (Australian)
$50A is $44.15C and $31.87US
$200A is $176.59CUS and $127.00US
All of the Heard Island Pebbles' proceeds will be donated to WWF Australia to help protect the penguins and support broader conservation efforts in the region. So far, it has raised over $4500.
