This is more literally true than you may perhaps think:
One of the tariffs is on the British Indian Overseas Territory (BIOT).
The main island there is Diego Garcia.
The *only* thing on Diego Garcia is a military base jointly operated by the US and UK.
So... we just applied a tariff to our own military base.
I mean... that's *talent*, right there.
