Switzerland Seeks Better Deal with US Amid Trade Dispute
Published on 8.7.25
Switzerland is considering additional talks with the US over a potential deal to secure better terms after the EU agreed to buy $750 billion worth of US energy products at a 15% tariff rate. The EU's concessions, including increased defence spending and investment in the US, were crucial in clinching the deal. Switzerland has already purchased military hardware from the US, including Lockheed Martin F-35A fighter jets worth $9.56 billion. Swiss politicians have called for the F-35 deal to be scrapped due to the trade dispute, but the government is focused on sweetening its offer to Washington.
