How did we end up runnng a trade deficit with the penguins? The only commodity they're interested in is fish.

We don't have a trade deficit with the penguins that's why they get the 10% rate

As citizens of the southern hemisphere, the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands would not qualify for the hemispheric common market. They will be subject to tariffs until the common market is spheric.

Remake the Star Wars prequel trilogy but instead of making them good change all references to trade to penguin and make the clone army a penguin army.

if you squint hard enough, tariffs are just sales taxes

Oh so when trump says he wants to conquer half the world it's bad?

Yet it would result in a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders

Wikileaks published a series of emails that were obtained by hackers who accessed the account of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, which purport to show a conversation between Clinton aides discussing what parts of the speeches would be potentially damaging if excerpts were somehow made public.

One statement that made the most waves was about trade and immigration, made during a presentation to Banco Itau, a Brazilian bank, in 2013:

My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.

And then everyone clapped
