Businesses wait for US tariff decision

Switzerland is bracing for Donald Trump's tariff decision on Swiss goods, due by Friday at the latest.

The expected minimum rate is 12.5%, though some rumours point to a much steeper 25%. 

Trump initially imposed a 31% duty on Swiss products, and the coming decision will replace those current tariffs at their expiry. 

Bern has already made trade concessions in Washington but has received no firm guarantees in return. 

Swiss exporters, from pharma to watchmaking, face days of uncertainty.
