First of all Switzerland does not impose taxes like Trump does. Second Switzerland has exports for 774 billion euro. Germany has on its own already 3040 billion euro. https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/che/ https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/deu/ Before posting nonsense check what you post.
That's the reason why Trump is imposing taxes. So you just proved that the US is afraid for destroying jobs. In fact Trump tells the whole time: get back jobs to the US. So he confirms the US lost a lot of them. So you posting should be:"Trump is already shit scared right now that the production of steel and aluminum will be dumped into the US destroying jobs in the US, so Trump blocked it."
The US situation is very similar to Britain 110 years ago. No longer THE super power that she was. The others had caught up and doing commerce and manufacturing better. Being displaced as number one is a painful process. Just as Britain had difficulty in adjusting to the new situation so has the US now. It comes down to protectionism for national goods and services or letting them fail if they can't compete. A hard choice.
We'll have to wait and see. But black swans are always the event that is so unlikely that folks don't even give it a thought, let alone plan for it. If somebody said DJT will win a second term, I wouldn't bet against it - at least not yet.
Watch the documentary Brexit. At the time of the documentary, they said the Switzerland had more trade than the entire European Union.
The way I see it, they can go sign other trade agreements where they want them. They can tolerate the one way, unfair trade and let us see how the country being taken advantage of fares in the long run! This is not rocket science, unfair, one sided trade will have only one winner then, what? Life is about choices. You have to lie in the bed you made!
First learn to read correctly. I posted :"First of all Switzerland does not impose taxes like Trump does." They don't put IMPORTTAXES like Trump does. So you compare apples with oranges.
Unfair trade practices are there so, you do not really have capitalism as it should be! Globalists just want to enslave everyone which is their goal. I have no delusions that CEOs of Google, Facebook, Tesla are all globalists. They exploit everyone they can including, their host countries. Why do you think the European Union has levied billions in fines on Google among other things? Innovation is being developed daily. President Trump would rather that there not be a trade war nor tariffs because it would be better for everyone. However, unfair, one sided trade will not be tolerated. No one with any unfair trade advantages will give up that willingly. Why should they? Talking about socialism, majority of European countries are socialist. Now, you guys are telling us you are capitalistic? The European Union has imposed more tariffs on goods from other countries but, you call it the VAT tax. Still the same. Seems like sheer hypocrisy. Difference is the US is using tariffs as a cudgel to change bad behavior! European Union has tariffs on permanently although, they call it by another name!
