  1. >US companies can export their products to Switzerland duty-free,” said Budliger Artieda.

    >“We have good arguments. And we have been doing exactly what President Trump wants for a long time.”

    Tja.

    Who would have expected that when you crawl up a bully’s arse you can only lose. What a surprise.

  2. “Switzerland is always treated well by the US” people in shambles

  3. Time to get closer to the EU and abandon the US

  4. Soooo, when do we prioritise our european “”friends”” again instead of dicksucking the US?

  5. With a quick search I did not find the consequences to be on this blacklist, does someone knows?

  6. I do hope none of them have unexplained Swiss accounts that need to be frozen.

  7. Cancel F35 orders, buy Gripen, which is a better Suisse allternative in the first place anyway, and get investments out of the USA.

  8. I voted in favor of the F35s, mainly because I didn’t want us to not get any new fighters at all.

    It is safe to say, that I now regret my decision…

  9. They injured a legal precedent that is older than their own country, and now they pull this. Yeah, let’s see what they do when we withhold our higher education from them in retaliation.

    Or, you know, let’s see what happens if a country with the size and population of roughly the new york metropolitan area beats them in a trade war. We’re one of the most stable economies in the developed world. We can bear it. But what will they do if Roche, Nestlé, Glencore and so on are suddenly much, _much_ more expensive?

  10. Buy a mixed fleet of Rafale and Eurofighters.

    That way you will always have working fighter jets.
    Even if France/Germany/Italy might not get along with one another or with Switzerland.

  11. add software services to the trade statistics and look again how the balance looks.

    US of A**.

  12. Curious whats the real issue they have. You’d think it has to be beyond you sell us more then we buy from us.

    Wasn’t there some stuff previously about concerns on how Switzerland tax companies etc – which is funny as the the large US companies all take advantage of it (or setup in other nations with similar systems) and would be ropable if they lost those tax advantages.

    Wonder if there is anything else or just being in Europe is the issue.

  13. Hi Canadian living in Switzerland here. I’m so happy to see Swiss people support the effort. I love your country. Thank you for supporting mine. 💗

  14. Time to take a stand instead of only following the money and your egoistic agenda

  15. We dont need planes, plant trees, build a sustainable system or idiots

  16. There is nothing more golden than the quotes just a 2 days ago from the Swiss president, Karin Keller-Sutter. [https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/foreign-affairs/keller-sutter-sees-no-turnaround-in-swiss-foreign-policy/88977687](https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/foreign-affairs/keller-sutter-sees-no-turnaround-in-swiss-foreign-policy/88977687) Also, remember that Switzerland was among the countries in Europe where most people would vote for Trump because nothing “would change” to Switzerland if he came to power. And Rösti also wanted to have Trump in power..

  17. america is a shithole country and they can’t be trusted.

  18. Now where are the pro-Trump right-wing dunderheads who were all over Reddit a few weeks ago explaining to us how Trump being elected was totally a good thing, actually, because we were going to have an awesome free trade agreement with the US? You know, as evidenced by the fact that Trump, like, briefly talked to Ueli Maurer once?

  19. How does it come, that we still don’t have a Trumptower in Zurich/St.Moritz?
