Switzerland is ready to make a “more attractive offer” in trade talks with Washington, its government said yesterday, following a crisis meeting aimed at averting a 39pc US import tariff on Swiss goods that threatens to hammer its export-driven economy.
The Federal Council – the country’s governing cabinet – said it was determined to pursue discussions with the US, if necessary beyond the August 7 deadline that US president Donald Trump has set for the tariff to come into effect.
