Swiss deploy charm offensive in bid to slash crippling Trump tariffs

Swiss ministers are in Washington to negotiate a reduction in President Trump's high tariffs on Swiss exports, the highest in Europe. A recent visit by Swiss business leaders, bearing gifts like a Rolex watch and gold bar, seems to have positively influenced Trump. Talks have been described as "very positive" and focused on addressing the trade deficit, potentially leading to lower tariffs. Trump's more favorable stance toward Switzerland signals progress in attempts to reduce the crippling tariffs.
