The economics ministry has not yet commented on further details of the trip.

+ What do the 39% US tariffs mean for the Swiss economy?

The economics ministry confirmed the trip on Friday at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency. It remained unclear for the time being whether there was a connection to the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on imports from Switzerland.

Parmelin's department made this statement after the Swiss economics minister cancelled his planned appearance at the Economiesuisse business umbrella organisation on Friday at the last minute. The minister was due to deliver the national government's message of greeting on Economy Day 2025.

Economiesuisse told the news agency AWP that the reason for the cancellation was the trip to the US.
