Oof. Swiss do make a lot of precision stuff manufacturers need, not great for US manufacturing.

It’s not as bad as it sounds. Pharmaceuticals, by far the most important Swiss export to the US, are completely exempt from these tariffs. Other major exports, like watches, precious metals and gem stones are less susceptible to price increases.

Alright, to be completely blunt, I have no idea what is he even doing anymore, but I sincerely doubt that he knows what he’s doing himself…

This could really cause a stir in international trade.

The funny thing about this is that Switzerland wanted to reach a free trade agreement with the US for a long time now and some politicians were hopeful that the Trump administration will be sympathetic of us. Most people saw Trump as a threat like everybody else did, but some very opportunistic thinking people in our country seriously thought that we will be exempt from tariffs altogether. They went as far as to highlight the non-EU membership as a selling point, and now the US slaps us with higher tariffs than the EU. Oh, the irony.

Doesn’t matter. Most US residents can’t afford medicine anyway. Those who can afford it are not price sensitive.

I’m not sure we need a thread for every country he hit with tarrifs. It’s a lot more interesting which aren’t included.
