See that Rolex clock and gold bar?
It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.
Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

Today was Palestinian Independence Day.
As Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood — as 81% of the world already does.
