    The Orange Moron is doing a really good job at uniting and integrating former allies against him

    “But we certainly can’t be accused of being unfair. Switzerland has unilaterally abolished its industrial tariffs, we have no pharmaceutical tariffs. US companies can export their products to Switzerland duty-free,”

      When we have absolutely no allies left except Russia, America will truly be great again.

        Time for someone to leak a list of billionaires' Swiss bank accounts.

            And in the same quote:

            we have been doing exactly what President Trump wants for a long time

            And I believe her.

            So how did CH get on that list?

            US trade delegate Jamieson Greer has called on American companies to report unfair trade practices by partner countries

            So some businessperson with a grievance decides what gets onto some government list? Truly an oligarchy.

            That said I'd like to know a bit more about the whole (yet another) international debacle.

              Can't have a trade deficit if you don't have trade.

                  I guess they just didn't like the trade deficit because they think it means "losing"

                    I wonder what the plan is when one oligarch needs the country’s product and another wants the country tariffed. I guess whoever has the larger bribes wins?

                          It is as if the Cheater in Chief is turning everything to shit that he touchess. I can't wait for the 30'000% tariffs on Swiss gold or whatever his idea will be.

                              I'd prefer if someone managed to Robin Hood those accounts, instead.

                                          US trade delegate Jamieson Greer has called on American companies to report unfair trade practices by partner countries, according Budliger Artieda. This applies in particular to G20 countries and states with a strongly positive trade balance with the US.

                                          You would not expect an efficient world market to have a zero bilateral trade balance.

                                          Say we have a world with three countries.

                                          Country A is good at producing apples and consumes a lot of beans.

                                          Country B is good at producing beans and consumes a lot of cherries.

                                          Country C is good at producing cherries and consumes a lot of apples.

                                          But no country on there should have a zero bilateral trade balance with any other country. Country A should run a deficit with B and surplus with C. B should run a deficit with C and surplus with A. C should run a deficit with A and surplus with B.
