Swiss president, economy minister flying to US for tariff talks

Switzerland's President Karin Keller-Sutter and Economy Minister Guy Parmelin were due to fly to Washington on Tuesday for talks aimed at lowering the new 39-percent tariffs that have shocked the Alpine country.

"The aim is to present a more attractive offer to the United States in a bid to lower the level of reciprocal tariffs for Swiss exports, taking U.S. concerns into account," the Swiss government said in a statement.
