When the plane landed in Bern, it was already clear: the Swiss acutter min in Washington was not successful. President Karin Keller-Sutter, Minister of Economics Guy Pamelin and American Foreign Minister Marco Rubio negotiated for a good hour on Wednesday. In the night of Thursday, the US tariffs nevertheless came into force-in full. At 39 percent, Switzerland is more difficult than any other country in Europe. As a reminder: tariffs of 15 percent should apply to the EU.
