    Switzerland has a positive balance of trade in goods and therefore appears on this list.

    Ah that’s why…

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

    Maybe it’s time to fucking stop pleasing the orange cunt, he doesn’t care!

      Except it has nothing to do with unfair trade practices. It’s all about breaking down the world order to make room for Russia.

    Europe needs to see that unity is the way to go. A united Europe is needed to stand against the mad kings in Russia and the US.

      Europe, the place where 27 separate sovereign nations have formed a Union, needs to realise how important it is to be united?

      Is that what you’re saying?

    He’s either completely senile or doing Putin’s bidding by destroying whatever is left of the US’s international credibility.

      Probably because Lindt said that they might supply Canada from Europe instead of the US.

      Begun the chocolate wars have.

    Switzerland might really be one of the few countries no one can ever take over. Even if no one else cared — they will — sending troops running up a mountain where everyone has rifle skills and hidden bunkers is definitely not a military strategy I ever heard of.

      …no one can fully ever take over.

      Reason why the country is what it is, is because quite a few have tried an kinda stuck around.

    They’ll pull it back once they realize the billionaires stash some of their money there.

        Switzerland enacted reforms years ago. I doubt they’d go after them when they can go after the Cayman Islands or Jersey or wherever. And I doubt they’d go after any rich person’s money. The Panama Papers were published years ago along with others and nothing happened.
