Swiss Face 72-Hour Race to Lower Trump’s ‘Absurd’ 39% Tariff
The Swiss government held crisis talks on Monday to come up with a proposal that might dissuade US President Donald Trump from imposing 39% tariffs on the country in less than three days.
“It’s unfortunate that the Swiss took so much time” to react, says Thomas Borer, a former Swiss diplomat who now runs his own consulting firm, echoing the criticism made in the press.
