Big Cheeto was afraid the penguins would flood American markets with cheap eggs, thus the tarifs.
I don't see it happening anytime soon. To rejoin, they woukd have to accept all the new rules, one of them is adopting the Euro as currency. I'm not sure the English voters would be willing to abandon the Pound. Scottish, Welsh an Irish, maybe.
The project had a massive ecological and social impact on the region. People who lost their homes and farms to the lake, were still not re-settled or compensated almost 20 years after it was formed, it displaced native peoples from their ancestral lands, drowned old growth forests which caused them to rot and release CO2 and methane, disrupted the reproductive cycle of several species of fish, towns that were far from the river and then were close to the expanded lake were inundated by mosquitos, I could go on.
But hey, progress right ?
Fucking dictatorship.
Itaipu was completelly unneccessary, A chain of smaller dams would have provided the same capacity, but with lower and more distributed impact, but the fucking dictators had to show how Brazil was capable of tackling huge engineering projects.
That's the true cost of decades of protectionist demagoguery disguised as "national security".

You haven't been following the downfall of Twitter, have you ?
Or those dumpster fires that are the SSybertruck an Teska Semi, right?
Or how he got his ass fired from PayPall because he wanted to use Windows Server instead of Linux to run the service?
Elons incompetence has been showing for a while.
The Orange Menace is impervious to kompromat. You can only blackmail people who have shame, and Asshole in Chief has absolutely none. Whatsoever. He himself said that he could shoot a man in the middle of Times Square and not lose a single vote, which is absolutely true. His voters actually want a shameless criminal in the White House, because this legitimizes their own awful behaviour. I can't think of any kind of kompromat that Putler could use against someone like that.
As others mentioned, it has to be done by Americans. A single one would do. Anyone knows when Luigi will be available ?
On a more serious note, dictatorships can not be removed from power by external forces unless it comes with overwhelming firepower (like Iraq in 2003) or the invaders are committed to a long war that will let the targeted nation devastated (Axis nations in WWII). But the biggest problem is what to do after the tyrants are out. As the world learned after Iraq and Afghanistan, creating (or restoring) a culture of democracy, human rights and respect for the laws is no easy task.
Replace the cat in the commics by a Siamese and you get my sweet little Marceline.
How long before the CCP nationalizes Teslas' factories in China ?
Amerika Über Alles.
Here in South America, we've been painfully aware of US's empire building for more than a century. Trump is not the cause of the current events, he is merely one more symptom of Americas unchecked narcissistic exceptionalism.

There's more to it. Chickens lay lots of eggs (like a dozen) before going broody (when they stop laying and just sit on the eggs to keep them warm), so production is high. Penguins OTOH, lay one of two per season.
Except that they are. Chickens that are actually raised free, and peck on insects, herbs and other stuff outside lay eggs that are absolutely delicious, and the meat is also very tasty. You can even say that they come pre-seasoned, if you don't mind chewy meat.
The almost tasteless eggs/meat come from industrial scale farming that feeds the chickens with grain-based feedstock in large amounts, so they grow quickly. (source: my aunts raised free-range chickens for both eggs and meat. They were really tasty)
