Switzerland Negotiates with US Over Steep Tariffs
Tap title to read story
Swiss officials, led by President Karin Keller-Sutter, are in Washington to negotiate with the Trump administration over unexpectedly high US tariffs on Swiss goods. These tariffs, reaching 39%, significantly impact Swiss industries like chocolate, machinery, and watchmaking. The trip follows a controversial call between Keller-Sutter and Trump, and comes despite Switzerland's claims of being a major US investor. While the pharmaceutical industry is exempt, concerns remain about broader economic consequences and the unpredictability of negotiations with the US.
