U.S. President Trump announced a 32% tariff on Switzerland and Taiwan, even though Switzerland has recently eliminated industrial tariffs on the U.S. and created 500,000 job opportunities. Lawyer Lin Zhiqun criticized Trump's actions, likening them to "firing a map cannon." He also mentioned criticisms from Kuomintang members towards President Lai Ching-te, pointing out that Han Kuo-yu once attempted to promote a free trade zone that would allow Chinese goods to pass off as Taiwanese goods for export to the U.S., and warned that tariffs could put Southeast Asian countries in a difficult situation.

U.S. President Trump’s policy of imposing tariffs globally has garnered widespread attention. Switzerland recently announced the elimination of import tariffs on industrial products from all countries, including the U.S., and has created 500,000 new job opportunities. However, Trump has announced a 32% "countervailing tariff" on Switzerland, a measure that also applies to Taiwan. Lawyer Lin Zhiqun stated that this approach is akin to "firing a cannon at a map."

Reports indicate that Switzerland, in order to avoid becoming entangled in a potential trade war, chose to maintain distance from the European Union (EU). Despite Swiss companies creating numerous job opportunities in the U.S., Trump still imposed a 32% tariff on Switzerland. Lin Zhiqun pointed out on social media that Switzerland's tariff on the U.S. is 0%, yet it still faces the same high tax rate as Taiwan. He criticized some politicians for their exaggerated reactions. He mentioned that Han Kuo-yu once sought to promote a free trade zone, intending for Chinese goods to be labeled as made in Taiwan for export to the U.S., and noted that Southeast Asian countries have faced high tariff risks exceeding 45% when using similar methods over the past few years.
