Wealthy Americans Move Capital to Switzerland Amid Trump Tariffs
Wealthy Americans have started actively transferring their funds to Swiss banks amid increasing economic risks in the United States. According to NBC News, the outflow of capital has been driven by new tariffs introduced by the Trump administration as part of ongoing trade wars.
Sources report that U.S. citizens are aiming to diversify their dollar assets and create a reliable "safety cushion" in Europe. Moving funds abroad is seen as a way to minimize potential losses and safeguard savings amid growing macroeconomic instability.
Switzerland is of particular interest due to its reputation as a financial center with strong asset protection and a tradition of political neutrality. Swiss banks are seeing a surge in demand for new account openings from American clients.
Experts note that these actions are a reaction not only to tariff policies but also to broader uncertainties regarding the U.S. domestic economic situation, including potential tax changes and pressure on financial markets.
Analysts estimate that if trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries continue to escalate, the capital outflow could intensify, posing additional challenges to the American economy.
