Kamala Harris criticizes Trump's tariffs on Switzerland as "reckless"
Published
Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has praised Switzerland and sharply criticized Donald Trump's tariff policy against the country. She described the tariffs as "reckless." Harris's remarks address a topic that is important for many companies in Switzerland.
Switzerland and the United States are important trading partners. Swiss companies export many products, for example from the pharmaceutical industry, the mechanical engineering sector and the watch industry, to the United States. High tariffs make these products more expensive for American customers and can make sales more difficult.
There is also movement in the political environment in Washington. According to reports, the Democrats, who dominate the new U.S. Congress, want to use their influence on trade policy. How this will concretely affect relations with Switzerland remains open.
For Switzerland, U.S. trade policy remains an important issue. The development of tariffs and the reactions from Washington should therefore continue to be monitored.
