Trump victory creates question marks
Christa Markwalder, the speaker of the Swiss House of Representatives said on Wednesday morning that she sees “a lot of question marks“ when it comes the impact of Trump’s victory.
Although it is in Switzerland’s interest to keep good ties with the US, Markwalder said Trump’s victory had created a climate of insecurity unfavourable for investors. She is a member of the Switzerland – US parliamentary association.
“Switzerland has a good reputation in the US, about half a million US citizens have Swiss roots,” she commented, adding that both countries shared the same values as “sister republics”.
