US blacklists Switzerland for "unfair trade"
The United States has placed Switzerland on a list of countries with "unfair trade practices".
You're viewing a single thread.
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,”
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.
I guess they just didn't like the trade deficit because they think it means "losing"
Also Trump views a VAT as an unfair tariff even if it applies equally to both domestic and foreign companies. He's completely dishonest, so don't expect any logic(I don't buy that he's that dumb)
Also Trump views VAT
I don't know about that. The problem is that you cannot take Trump statements as straightforward representations of his views. He says plenty of things just because they're politically useful, without regard for truth.
Trump is the epitome of the Republican sentiment "Unless I have privilege I'm being oppressed"
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.
