Switzerland is nearing a deal with the US to slash its 39pc tariff rate after some of the country’s largest businesses launched a charm offensive targeting Donald Trump.
Negotiators are in talks about cutting the current levy on Swiss exports to 15pc, Bloomberg reported, after executives from the country’s largest businesses met the US president to press their case.
The proposed 15pc tariff rate would match the levy imposed on Switzerland’s neighbours in the European Union.
The possible breakthrough came after a group of Swiss business delegates last week presented Mr Trump with a Rolex watch for the presidential library and a customised gold bar.
