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.

I mean sure, why the fuck not? Who's left at this point?

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.

Not sure I'd call Russia an ally rather than a puppetmaster

[albert180@discuss.tchncs.de]

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

[teft@lemmy.world]

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?

[Guest]

Our spineless politicians are going to react well to this, I'm sure.

[Guest]

Where are our right wing assholes now who said they would prefer trump? Trump would be better for Switzerland? Fucking SVP morons

[lordr@lemmy.world]

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.

[valmond@lemmy.world]

-"Trade deficit went down 50%!!"

(Trade went down 60%)

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

[rumschlumpel@feddit.org]

Though the US has always had a certain tendency to act similarly after WW2 ...

[genosseflosse@feddit.org]

That's good because it means there won't be anyone in the way of a socialist revolution, comrade!

trump has a trade deficit with mcdonalds too. Time to annex them or something.

[sludgehammer@lemmy.world]

Trump is the epitome of the Republican sentiment "Unless I have privilege I'm being oppressed"

[andrewth09@lemmy.world]

2000% tariff on American made watches to Switzerland
