With LNG purchases they try to avoid duties the Swiss duties
The Swiss side is particularly serious about the issue that has arisen with the unprecedented targeting of the country with 39% duties on its products (which shook the watchmakers industry, among other things) and after the generally confessed catastrophic phone call between the US President and President of the United States.
According to the Swiss side, the president and the Minister of Entrepreneurship Guy Parmelen are rushing to Washington for a meeting with Trump and go on a specific bid to increase the amount of LNG they buy, who hope to make the duties unnecessary.
Difficult to talk about
It is noted that according to what the Swiss officials have become known were taken aback by the Trump announcements as they were confident that the talks they had with US trading representative Jameson Green and Finance Minister Scott Besed had already gone well.
Whether the Swiss president’s attempt to persuade Trump will succeed in the next few hours, however, the negotiations are expected to be expected as Trump’s comments on their phone call were: “I talked to the prime minister. The woman was good, but she didn’t want to hear. “
Flashing against India for Russian oil
Shortly before the meeting with the Swiss president, Trump reiterated his threat to duties in India, accusing this country of buying “large quantities of Russian oil”, saying he is going to make the move “within the next 24 hours”.
“India is not a good trading partner because it does a lot of transactions with us, but we do not deal with it. So we agreed to 25%, but I think I will significantly increase it in the next 24 hours because they buy Russian oil, “the US president said in an interview with CNBC.

Manice Touvari, a member of the parliament and leader of the opposition party, said Trump’s “derogatory observations” “hurt the dignity and self -esteem of the Indians” while adding that “it is time to denounce this constant intimidating and intimidating behavior”.
The Vice President of the ruling Baratija Tzanata (BJP), Baitziad Jay always, responded to Trump with Henry Kissinger, in a post on X: “Being a America enemy can be dangerous, but being a friend of her, but being a friend of her.” As the announcement said: “It is revealing that the countries that criticize India themselves are commercially traded with Russia.” “It is unjustified to target India,” the ministry said. According to the announcement, in 2024 the EU traded with Russia worth 67.5 billion euros ($ 78.02 billion), including liquefied natural gas imports (LNG) that reached 16.5 million metrics.
Moscow also intervened in the debate, accusing Washington of being unlawful commercial pressure in India.
