A cafe in rural Australia has introduced a "tariff" on American drinks to show support for Ukraine. The owners, Jan Giles and Adrian Sykes, were inspired by the treatment of Ukraine's President Zelensky during a meeting with Donald Trump. The cafe now charges extra for American products, with proceeds going to the Australian Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. They have raised over $2,000 so far and plan to match donations. The couple has also flown the American flag upside down to symbolize distress. They report strong community support for their initiative.
