Switzerland has one of the worst US import tariffs in the world – and insiders in Washington say it was the attitude of the Swiss president, Karin Keller-Sutter, during a 34-minute phonecall that was to blame.
According to an investigation by the Blick newspaper, Keller-Sutter humiliated Trump by correcting some of his figures and giving him a crash course in economics and politics.
Insiders say he took that very personally and complained to his aides that ‘she didn’t listen to me’.
Apparently, after the call ended, he told his staff that he never wanted to speak to her again.
Keller-Sutter’s office is refusing to comment directly about the call, but says there’s no evidence of a personal dispute.
