US, Switzerland agree tariff cut
13h
Swiss and U.S. negotiators agreed to cut U.S. tariffs on Swiss exports from 39% to 15%, Swiss officials said, but final approval from Donald Trump remained pending.
The absurdity of Trump's trade policy:
For no reason whatsoever, Trump imposed a 39% "reciprocal tariff" on Switzerland.
Now, madman Trump has cut it to 15%, not knowing that free trade is better for us all.
Conclusion: Minimize your deals with the US!

I cannot emphasize enough that increasing foreign investment in the US and shrinking US trade deficits are in direct, irreconcilable tension w/ one another.

The fun thing about all these specific numbers on foreign investment being promised in the US is that people can track them and see the reality of how things turned out.
