The Guardian:

according to export data from the World Bank, the US imported US$1.4m (A$2.23m) of products from Heard Island and McDonald Islands in 2022, nearly all of which was "machinery and electrical" imports. It was not immediately clear what those goods were.

So apparently the penguins are exporting machinery to the US.

The Trump Administration doesn't want to just stop at mere racism and bigotry, they're going speciesist to!

You kid, but it feels me with sense of "is this a pointless action or will it fuck me over down the line?"
