The agreement announced on Friday between Switzerland and the US to slash tariffs on imported Swiss products to 15% from 39% will allow Switzerland to import more American meat.
Reacting to the news, Green Party leader Lisa Mazzone declared that“the Swiss economic elite and the Federal Council are bowing down to Donald Trump” and that Swiss agriculture, along with consumer interests, had been sacrificed.
Pierre-André Page, a farmer and Swiss People's Party parliamentarian, told Swiss public television RTS:“I am not worried about this deal; it is an important contract for Gruyère cheese production. On my farm we produce Gruyère and exports are significant. With the reduction of taxes from 39% to 15%, it is still a tax, but it is already much better.”
