President Trump’s tariffs on more than 100 countries, including Switzerland, are under fire from within his own party.
Four Republican senators joined Democrats this week to try to end the 39 percent levies, calling them chaotic and harmful.
But the House of Representatives, led by a Trump ally, has blocked a vote, leaving Swiss exporters still facing heavy duties.
The move exposes growing unrest among Republicans and adds to the political storm surrounding Trump’s trade policies.
Trump is under increasing pressure from fellow Republicans due to the government shutdown, China’s blocking of US soybean imports and tens of thousands of tonnes of Argentinian beef flooding the US market.
