„Just weeks ago, Switzerland’s government was exuding confidence.
In May, a Swiss facilitated meeting between the US and China in Geneva, aimed at preventing a trade war between the two economic superpowers, allowed Switzerland’s president Karin Keller-Sutter to grab a meeting with US trade secretary Scott Bessent.
She came out smiling. She had been told, she said, that Switzerland was likely to be second on the list after the United Kingdom to strike a trade deal with Washington. 10%, she hinted“
Did they sleep under a rock during Trump’s first term? Why are they confused?
Oh no.. poor Swiss
Isn’t Switzerland some kind of tax have for very rich people? Surely that does have some kind of bargaining power?
So… American voters will have to pay 39% more for Swiss products.
Shouldnt the anger come from Americans who buy Swiss products?
Will the Swiss have to dip into the Nazi gold?
Rare trump w tbh, Switzerland should have a trade embargo from the EU until they stop being a tax haven for all the money in Europe
Switzerland is among the very bottom of the list of countries I’d ever feel sorry for. Actually happy to see them hit with these stupid tariffs, the EU should do the same.
Sometimes it is better to be part of a big group, huh.
So EU got the lowest tariffs globally except UK (UK has limitations though).
Where are all those people calling Ursula a traitor and incompetent now? 💀
Swiss, just stay neutral about the tariffs. It’s not bad, either good.
tja
Switzerland is simply not to be regretted, probably the most hypocritical country in the world… starting with the attitude towards the rest of Europe, towards Ukraine… and Russian money…
Why haven’t all these countries just banded together and made trade deals together?
The US hates BRICS as it threatens to undermine them.
BRICS on steroids would absolutely undermine them.
Just put trump on a Rolex and luxury watch blacklist, that will hit him hard.
Rich people buying Swiss watches will definitely suffer. /s
Let them buy more F-35s
Just like every other business trump has owned or run, this one will fail. It’s unfortunate that this business is the united states of America.
Give it 5-10 years and we will see. Trump is getting his atta boy and gets to post his “wins” today but when he’s gone the us economy will be destroyed.
He is 7 months in office and wants to parade around that he has saved America and brought it award breaking tariffs of x billion.. sustainable strong economies don’t work like that. Quick hitting wins are just a flash in the pan.
The rest of the world is going to silently move away from American products, media, and the county in terms of holidays.. each country hit with tariffs is right now advising through the news how many jobs will be lost and the economic impact. That will not be forgotten and will change attitudes.
America is being destroyed and at this point I don’t even care any more.
lol fuck them
So funny seeing people talking about who got the best deal, do you not see the simple truth?
USA is simply using the tactics of divide and conquer and everyone falling on it.
I dont care tbh. The Swiss ’neutrality‘ has allowed them to turn their backs on nations when they could have done the right thing. And thats before we consider their role in enabling the holocaust / benefitting from the proceeds of genocide. So Switzerland can get fucked as far as im concerned. Not a very nice country at all.
I don’t feel sorry for the swiss. I don’t hate them either, but for all history they’ve cared about profit over morals. Many times at the expense of others. They valued their individuality above anything else, now they’ll have to deal with the bs tariffs by themselves.
The only way to deal with king Joffrey and his pathetic likes is to unite with friendly forces and together stand up to these bullying baboons.
Well, if there is 1 country in Europe that I won’t cry over for it to be screw over by drumf, it really is switzerland. That’s called karma.
Consindering their dealings with Russians, they got very, very lucky so far from other sides.
It sucks and trump is an idiot but I’m sure Switzerland will be fine. Not like EU lol
Well, I bet Trump isn’t that hard to negotiate with.
One must just forget the old way. The Swiss will never present an offer they are certain it could work and be implementable.
They are known for that, pragmatic negociation.
Trump isn’t like that, he doesn’t care about the results.
He just cares about « the deal. »
Which means, give him everything. Nothing will be checked, no one in the world will hold their promises anyway.
Kiss the ring, humiliate yourself for the pictures, hive him the biggest chocolate gold medal in the world and continue business as usual.
But for that, you need a change of mindset.
They will probably try their best to get a deal now and it will be either the same the EU got or slightly worse.
3 years and 5 months
We all just sitting it out
Fuck em, Nazi gold hoarding high altitude cowards
60 percent of thing exported by swiss to the US is pharmaceuticals. Which is exempt from tariffs. What a horribly written article. BBC is really going down the drain
Maybe good to remember the are not part of the EU on their own making.
It’s funny to see European leaders’ surprise Pikachu faces one by one. Like, why would they think that Chief Pedo of America won’t do it to them? He didn’t spare Canada where they have decades of economic cooperation so what makes the European leaders think that he will go soft on them?
Yeah, fuck all those people in the comments who take this as an opportunity to shit on Switzerland. There is no other way than to say, go fuck yourselves.
Reason why Trump set the tariffs so high; „there’s a 40 billion balance in their favor“.
Isn’t it crazy that 320 million Americans buy way more stuff from Switzerland than 9 million Swiss buy from America? That can’t be tolerated.
1) she’s a woman so trump has no respect
2) they’re trying to extort her country
