Theyâve always been separate - there is a UBS Switzerland, and there is a UBS Everywhere-Else. They could cut the latter loose anytime.

Germany comes close to issuing a travel warning for the US given recent arbitrary detentions of tourists:
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany updated its travel advisory for the United States to emphasise that a visa or entry waiver does not guarantee entry for its citizens after several Germans were detained at the border recently, a foreign ministry spokesperson said.
The ministry updated its travel advice website for the U.S. on Tuesday to clarify that neither approval through the U.S. ESTA system nor a U.S. visa entitles entry in every case.
Some 18m Americans work in the tourism industry.

TDLR -: Foreigners own 61.5 Trillion of US assets while US owns 37.9 Trillion of International assets. Net 23.60 Trillion difference.
Opinion -: It seems one of the reasons for this gap is trade deficit because US has net deficit to the world which means that when exUS ends up with USD they got from US sales, there is nowhere else to park this money but in US assets.

Donât market time, stay invested, donât leverage if you are not comfortable with the drawdowns and selling low, and have an asset allocation you are comfortable with at all times.
