The United States End Its Free Trade Partnership with Wakanda
It wasn’t meant to be as the United States has removed Wakanda from its list of free trade agreement partners. The fictional country is no longer listed on the Agricultural Tariff Tracker maintained by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service.
The USDA said they used the comic book country in their testing and forgot to remove it when the service went live.
The listing featured hundreds of data points for the country involving various goods.
Ruled by the Black Panther, the nation first appeared in Fantastic Four #52 in July 1966 published by Marvel.
We await to hear about the US’s official stance on Latveria.
