Miles Howe

Miles Howe is a retired Australian civil servant and former member of the Norfolk Island Chamber of Commerce. He voiced his astonishment at Norfolk Island being included in the import tariffs announced by President Trump, reflecting the sentiments of many locals who are puzzled by how their small, largely non-industrialized community became a focal point in U.S. trade policy. Howe noted that the tariffs are unlikely to disrupt their peaceful way of life, but he questioned the relevance of such economic measures for an island of their size.
