Baume-Schneider mentioned that the Swiss government still needs to discuss Trump's decision to pull the US out of the WHO. Trump signed the withdrawal just hours after his inauguration on Monday.
When asked about Switzerland's role in relation to the Trump administration, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described a Europe losing momentum , Baume-Schneider conveyed a message of a“strong” Switzerland. She echoed the sentiments of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who depicted Europe as strong despite the criticisms.
