Hähnchen, dumme Tesla-Autos und Whiskey, die zur Migros kommen, ist eine Sache. Aber die Schweiz hat gerade zugestimmt, dass die USA entscheiden dürfen, mit wem die Schweiz Geschäfte machen darf.
Die vom Weißen Haus veröffentlichte Erklärung (Hier) bedeutet, dass sich die Schweiz an den von den USA erlassenen Aussenpolitiken orientieren muss "Exportkontrollen, Sanktionen (in andere Länder) und Investitionsprüfung.
Das bedeutet Folgendes: – Die Schweiz muss damit beginnen, die US-Vorschriften zu befolgen, mit wem sie Geschäfte tätigen darf. – Wenn die USA beschließen, ein Land wirtschaftlich zu bestrafen (wie Iran, Russland, Nordkorea), muss die Schweiz mitmachen. Schweizer Banken können keine Transaktionen mit sanktionierten Unternehmen abwickeln. – Die Schweiz muss Investitionen aus Ländern blockieren, die Trump nicht mag. Das Upgrade des Freihandelsabkommens zwischen China und der Schweiz wurde gerade gescheitert, was zu einer Expansion der Schweiz in China führen könnte. Wir verlieren grundsätzlich die Fähigkeit, selbst zu entscheiden, ob ausländische Investitionen gut für die Schweiz sind.
Das ist ein absoluter Skandal.
The worst part of the US deal -> CH to align on USA foreign policy

The worst part is that we’ll start seeing Ford F150 cars everywhere.
Please tell me any reason this won’t start happening – very much appreciate a take on that
The wording is rather broad. It can mean very few changes or a complete alignment with US policies. If the later is floated, I wonder how supporters of strict neutrality will react…
Only fans of murderous dictatorships think that’s the worst part
This is horrible. We’re tying ourselves to an empire (in decline).
The EU contract has opened the door for this, with similar stipulations.
We should act (vote) accordingly. No submitting to foreign nations!
Switzerland, and most civilized countries already align with the US on foreign policy & sanctions, this is just the way.
You can align with the US, or with pariahs like North Korea, Iran, Russia and Venezuela.
If people think some ideal 1970ies perfect neutrality can exist in 2025, they have a childs understanding of the world.
This was an awful read…..
But this is actually crazy….. like… if this is a „good“ deal, im scared to know what was the „bad“ deal…..
Iran, Russia, North Korea and alike must be punished though 🤷🏼
>whiskey coming to the Migros
I’m not sure if you’re being facetious, but just for clarity’s sake, Migros does not sell alcoholic beverages outside of Migrolino gas station shops and the deal won’t change that. Not too long ago, there was a vote among cooperative members whether the alcohol ban should be toppled and they voted no, so no it is. That’s why there’s an alcohol-free beer named „Non“ at Migros, it commemorates the outcome of the vote.
You realise that most Teslas in CH come from Germany Model Y, and China Model 3. (S X still come from USA).
Don’t you.
But why throw that in, in the first place. Has nothing to do with tariffs.
I think the Federal Council (like many other Countries) is betting 12 months from now Republicans will get obliterated in the midterms and Congress will re-assert its authority on tariff and trade
Unfortunately, lines have been drawn in the sand and as much as swiss wants to remain neutral it simply cannot. The economic war is fully under way and the next major conflict will touch every nation on the planet. Swiss have chosen to side with Europe and the west,l it’s not good but it’s better than being ousted by the west and east.
Either way, it’s not good, but it’s better than being completely isolated.
