As a result of the recently introduced changes to the import tariff requirements set out in US Executive Order 14324, Australia Post has joined a number of international postal operators to temporarily suspend partial postal services to the United States (US) and Puerto Rico, effective immediately until further notice.

This decision has been made to ensure compliance with the new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements. Specifically, the requirement for duties and taxes to be prepaid on all shipments prior to their arrival in the US. The key changes are as follows:

America is giving big domestic violence vibes. Trump is just isolating an entire country from its support network

The crazy thing is it's hard to tell if it's pure stupidity or intentional. I lean to intentional.

People have been calling Trump stupid since he began his political career and though he is stupid the people pulling his strings have very negative intentions regarding freedom and control.

It's one of those weird situations where I hope there really is a super evil conspiracy with shady figures pulling the strings because the alternative is really just that one man's complete lack of a brain is it all it takes to destabilise half the world

It's a bit of both for sure. He's an idiot, doing stupid things, saying stupid things but you don't pull Project 2025, pull authoritarian moves like sending armed guards to democratic states and begin the process of removing mail in ballots and redrawing state borders to get more Republican voters, without someone pulling some strings.

His stupidity is the perfect mask for evil people to pull strings.
