Donald Trump targets US voting laws and threatens Swiss trade

Donald Trump has criticized the U.S. electoral system, labeling it a "mess" and advocating for mandatory photo identification laws to prove citizenship before voting. He argued that current regulations are too loose, noting that while permits for tasks like snow removal require identification, voting does not.

In addition to domestic policy, Trump issued a warning toward Switzerland, suggesting that a single decision to stop importing goods from the country could cause significant economic hardship for the nation. He specifically cited the $39 billion trade deficit between the U.S. and Switzerland as a concern.

On the legal front, Trump faces challenges regarding his authority over federal property. A federal appeals court ruled that he lacks the power to demolish the White House West Wing to build a new state banquet room, affirming that Congress holds constitutional authority over federal assets. Trump has pledged to appeal this decision to the Supreme Court, alleging political motives behind the ruling.
