US Government Accidentally Lists Fictional Wakanda as Trade Partner
US Government lists fictional nation Wakanda as trade partner
The US Department of Agriculture mistakenly included the fictional nation Wakanda on its list of free-trade partners. This error occurred when a test file intended for staff use was left publicly accessible on the agency's online tariff tracker. The listing, which humorously detailed trade in goods like ducks and donkeys, was quickly removed after being spotted by a software engineer and reported by the media.
So do we, or do we not have free trade with Wakanda? Also where are things at on negotiations with Agrabah?

Ok, this one seems to have a twin just released. I received from Gary Marcus' site:
