Wakanda removed from official U.S. list of trade partners

Someone is going to get a bollocking at the U.S. State Department, because they added Wakanda-the fictional high-tech African kingdom from the marvel Black Panther movie-to an official list of trade partners.

The fictional country was removed soon from the list after US media first queried it, prompting jokes that the countries had started a trade war.

Wakanda first appeared in the Fantastic Four comic in 1966, and made a reappearance when Black Panther was adapted into an Oscar-winning film last year.

The unusual listing was spotted by Francis Tseng, a New York-based software engineer who was looking up agricultural tariffs for a fellowship he was applying for.

More furtive associations with Anglo-American imperialism from Wakanda's corrupt, complicit ruling elite! Killmonger was right.
