Karin Keller-Sutter, the Swiss President, has arrived in Washington D.C. for a crucial diplomatic mission aimed at persuading former President Donald Trump to reconsider the recently imposed 39% tariff on Swiss goods.
This high-stakes, last-minute effort seeks to negotiate a deal that could significantly reduce the tariff and ease escalating trade tensions between Switzerland and the United States. The tariff, enacted just last week, has raised concerns among Swiss exporters and businesses about the impact on bilateral trade.
President Keller-Sutter’s visit underscores Switzerland’s commitment to maintaining strong economic ties with the U.S. and highlights the urgency of resolving the tariff dispute before it causes lasting damage to both economies. Talks are expected to focus on finding a mutually beneficial agreement that supports continued trade and investment flows.
