I've seen a lot of people make fun of the McDonald islands bit (Along with other smaller islands and Diego Garcia) but it makes sense to close out any potential loopholes regarding relabeling or re-exporting. Same thing with Vietnam and Cambodia, which were realistically just diverted Chinese exports, which is certainly not in the spirit of what American lawmakers meant when they encouraged companies to diversify away from China. The reaction around this is on the whole pretty overblown. A lot of the smaller details will get ironed out, especially since access to the American consumer market is one hell of a leverage.
