Sure Jan.

Trade talks between Captain America and Black Panther didn't quite pan out, it seems. Wakanda, the fictional home of the Marvel superhero, is no longer listed as a free trade partner of the US.

Amongst the commodities listed under Wakanda were "live asses", "mules and hinnies" and several other farm animals. Potatoes and chestnuts were also reportedly listed.

Wakanda's most famous agricultural commodity, those heart-shaped purple flowers that appear to give Black Panther his god-like powers, do not appear to have been listed.

I've always wanted a journalist to troll Trump live on TV with a question about Wakanda.
