Australatina slaps Trade Sanctions on United States!
REGINA, AUSTRALATINA
With a country angered over the recent revelations of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) child trafficking and sexual abuse as well as President Donald J. Trump’s inhumane policy of separation of undocumented immigrant children from their parents in ICE detention - Australatina’s unicameral parliament, La Asamblea (Assembly) voted 326-0 with only one Member of Parliament not present voted for a comprehensive Trade Sanctions against the United States for the ICE atrocities against undocumented immigrant children.
Prime Minister Damon Villaraigosa immediately signed the bill into law and will be countersigned by the figurehead President of Australatina, David Crespi Peña on Tuesday.
“If the United States wishes to commit crimes against humanity against Latino, Indigenous, and Black undocumented immigrants and refugees, separating children and committing unspeakable crimes. The People of the Hispanic Republic of Australatina want no part in aiding an economy that exploits and terrorizes the immigrant worker.”
The PM further stated
“MERCONOR Australatina Unified Immigration and Customs Area will ban import of US Consumer Goods, ban US Ships at all Ports, and deny use of airspace to US registered passenger aircraft over Australatina Unified Airspace.”
The airspace transit ban is the most hard hitting of the trade sanctions, forcing US passenger aircraft to avoid both Australatina and Nueva Grecia airspace as both sovereign states are under the jurisdiction of the Australatina Airports Authority (AAA) and in the case of Australatina proper, prohibited from entering the four designated Air Defense Identification Zones Australatina uses to protect it’s entire sovereign airspace and extended territorial water areas adjacent to Australatina’s coastlines: Atlantic Ocean, Acadian Sea, and the Gulf of Viña del Mar, which makes up Australatina’s tiny 68 kilometer (42 Mile) Western Coast.
Australatina’s airspace closure will be largest closed airspace area to US civilian passenger and military planes since the days of the former Soviet Union and the Cold War as Australatina beats out Iran in land area by an area roughly the size of Israel.
“So if Donald John Trump wishes to transit Australatina airspace in his private jet, ask me first over Twitter. Where I, the Prime Minister of Australatina can tell him ‘No means no, where are the damn children your ICE agents kidnapped’.” Villaraigosa quoted as laughter erupted in the Prime Minister’s Office Press Conference Hall amongst the press.
