The United States has placed Switzerland on a list of countries with “unfair trade practices”.

Lmao what the actual fuck? Switzerland…? He’s going after the Swiss now…? I just… wow. What is happening.
Edit: it’s apparently about - and I shit you not - chocolate. And it’s their volume market brand. Not even the really good stuff.
swiss banks have putins money in it.
Probably because Lindt said that they might supply Canada from Europe instead of the US.
Begun the chocolate wars have.
It’s getting harder and harder to laugh at shit like this. I mean, it’s still funny, but it really is not.
I feel the exact same. It’s tragicomedic.
I laugh to hide the pain. The secret sixth stage of grief is gallows humor.
the ancient greeks are so fucking jealous right now…
I thought the US especially enjoyed their puke flavoured chocolate? They don’t need European chocolate.
hereshey is more sugar than actual chocolate, although lindht is not good either. i get thier 90-100% all the time.
Lindt definitely isn’t the best choice. But between that and Hershey’s…
The European chocolates would be specifically earmarked for Canada, so the US can keep their chocolate to themselves.
As a Canadian, I’d much prefer chocolate from local chocolatiers, though European chocolates are also a delightful treat.
they probably hold billions in frozen Russian assets
Proof that even if you do what Trump says he wants won’t get you anywhere
And we have been doing exactly what President Trump wants for a long time.
And now you can see where it put you. Nowhere.
The US is on a way to piss off all of its trading partners and former allies.
We’re never going to recover. He’s speed running the fall of a nation.
At least Nero had some musical talent on display while Rome burned. This guy can’t even dance.
Drumpf had it wrong. It’s not Zelenskyy risking WW3, it’s himself.
“Accuse the other side of what you, yourself, are doing.” The Republicans adopted the Nazi playbook decades ago.
If nothing else, at least Magats won’t be able to hide their gold there anymore.
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?
Well tbey are commenting this on an article about switzerland, which is not in the EU. Though it is in Schengen and the EEA.
United States of America. The name wasn’t helping us unfortunately.
Now we just need a King of Europe…
My vote is for Elon Musk. But only if we get to execute him the same day.
The french might have some spare guillotines in storage.
Can you ask them to send a few to America please? Thnx!
it would be way easier than the statue of liberty. barely an inconvenience.
Trump is all about pretenses.
There are the “reasons” he’s making those decisions, and then there are the “pretenses” he uses when the opportunity comes around to make them.
Swiss banks hold a lot of money from oligarchs and billionaires. Putin wants pressure put on them. But Trump has to find the “pretense” to do it so as to at least nominally not be seen as a russian asset. But what a coincidence, Lindt announces that they’re going to supply Canada directly from Europe to avoid his tariffs. And BOOM. Pretense established.
What? Swiss banks been mean to Putin?
When you think you done everything right…
Is this a legend to the five rings card?
Where’s the mtg card at, get outta here with your shoddy card game!!
He’s doing the best Zapp Brannigan impression I’ve ever seen.
Well he really must hate those filthy neutrals.
Billy West is a national treasure
That’s too perfect. Thank you.
The US is so fucked. People are not going to give the bully their lunch money. They’re going to team up against the bully.
Which is good, and I say that as an American. The current leadership cannot be trusted. It’s going to be a long time before we can be trusted again. If ever.
Fuck, I wish the government was this enthusiastic about unfair trade practices within its own country.
Except it has nothing to do with unfair trade practices. It’s all about breaking down the world order to make room for Russia.
Does that mean we have to stop calling it swiss cheese and start calling it holes cheese, or holy cheese?

Cheese of America?
Freedom cheese
✅ Putting holes in things and calling it freedom
More accelerationism at work…
