Swiss Social Democratic Party (SP) leaders Mattea Meyer and Cédric Wermuth have strongly criticized the Swiss government's approach to the United States, particularly its pursuit of a free trade agreement under Donald Trump.
They argue that such a deal undermines European unity, especially as the US imposes tariffs on the EU and supports divisive politics in Europe.
The SP calls for Switzerland to align with Europe, emphasizing democracy and social rights over profit-driven policies.
Meyer and Wermuth also highlighted the broader risks of Trump's policies, which they see as destabilizing global democracy and human rights.
The SP insists on a clear commitment to Europe, rejecting any alignment with Trump's administration.
