U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo refuted claims about using AI to generate tariff lists and explained the reasons for imposing tariffs on "Penguin Island." President Trump announced comprehensive tariffs on imported goods from over 180 countries, including uninhabited penguin habitats. This policy led to the U.S. stock market losing more than $6 trillion over two consecutive days, with investors warning that if tariffs are not eased, the market will face a crisis. Raimondo emphasized that the tariffs will take effect as scheduled, stating that this is to close loopholes exploited by countries like China. Democratic leader Schumer criticized the impact of this action on uninhabited islands but did not take action against Russia.

The United States Secretary of Commerce, Lutnick, refuted claims about the U.S. generating a tariff list using artificial intelligence and explained why tariffs are imposed on "Penguin Island." Recently, President Trump announced a comprehensive tariff on imported products from over 180 countries and regions, including a small uninhabited island that is home only to penguins. Lutnick detailed during an interview why these islands were included in the tax scope.

Trump's new tariff policy has led to a loss of over 6 trillion dollars (approximately 198.6 trillion New Taiwan Dollars) in the U.S. stock market over two consecutive days for investors. Hedge fund manager Ackman, who supports Trump, warned that if adjustments are not made to the tariff policy, the U.S. stock market will face a serious crisis on Monday. However, the Trump administration's financial team stated that starting from the 9th, no one can escape the high tariffs. Lutnick reiterated on a television program, "The tariffs will take effect, this is not a joke."

• What has drawn attention online is that Heard Island and McDonald Island, Australian territories close to Antarctica, will still face a 10% tariff, despite having no local residents and four species of penguins.
• Senate Democratic leader Schumer criticized Trump, questioning why tariffs are imposed on Penguin Island but not on Russian President Putin.
• Lutnick defended the imposition of tariffs on these two islands that are home only to penguins, stating it is to block loopholes for countries like China to "pass their vessels."
• According to reports, there has been speculation that the Trump administration may use artificial intelligence to generate the tax list, but Lutnick immediately denied this, pointing out that many countries were not included in the list.
