200Billion is more than 20% of Swiss GDP. Thats a lot money, knowing that Trump can impose again extra tarrifs if he not like what Switserland do.
I know ZERO information about the deal (and investment agreement), but I know a little about gamesmanship. $200 Billion invested is the number the white house wants to present to the voters....but over what time period? 1, 2, 10+ years? In other words, some investment will, no doubt, be coming. That's the good news. From every country investing in the US (and let's not forget that much of these investments might include buying treasuries, etc), however, once Trump is out of office and there is no longer the threat of tariffs for reneging, I would bet a lot of "investment" will magically dry up.

For now though, keep the "good news" coming because we REALLY need to erase some recent equity losses.

It’s known as keeping him sweet .

Read some of the Epstein emails and this was his advice to Lavrov , to pass onto Putin when meeting him in 2018

He needs to feel he’s walked away with something was the message . Essentially , so he can go to the media and tout the “ win “ .

Most countries understand his Modus operandi now . Tell him what he wants to hear , delivering is another thing .

The actual emails ( the ones released so far ) are enthralling reading giving remarkable insight into the vast network of international contacts Epstein had . Trump is now attempting to block the release of a lot of others , one has to ask - Why ?
