Swiss Expert Warns of Future Tensions with US under Trump
Thomas Borer, a former Swiss ambassador to Germany, warns of future tensions between Switzerland and the US under the leadership of Donald Trump.
Borer sees the US as becoming increasingly isolationist and protectionist under Trump.
He predicts that this will lead to conflicts with Switzerland, which is a major trading partner with the US.
Borer also warns that Trump's policies could damage the global economy, which would also have a negative impact on Switzerland.
In an interview with the Swiss newspaper Blick, Borer said that he believes Trump is "a dangerous man" who is "not interested in cooperation."
He said that Trump's policies are "a threat to the world."
Borer's warnings come at a time when relations between Switzerland and the US are already strained.
In recent months, the two countries have clashed over issues such as trade and tax.
Borer's warnings are a reminder that the election of Trump could have a significant impact on Switzerland.
It is important for Switzerland to be prepared for the challenges that may lie ahead.
Here are some specific examples of how Trump's policies could damage the Swiss economy:
- Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from China would hurt Swiss companies that export to the US.
- Trump's tax cuts would make it more difficult for Swiss companies to compete with US companies.
- Trump's withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership would hurt Swiss companies that export to Asia.
