不降反升，美国新关税让瑞士“目瞪口呆”

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Swiss goods, reaching 39%, has shocked Switzerland, which had anticipated a lower rate following negotiations [1][2]. Group 1: Tariff Impact - The new tariff rate of 39% is the highest among European countries and affects nearly 60% of Swiss exports to the U.S. [1] - The previous expectation was for a 10% tariff, with Swiss officials expressing disappointment over the significant deviation from prior negotiations [1][2]. Group 2: Economic Context - The U.S. cites a trade deficit of $38.3 billion with Switzerland as a reason for the high tariffs, claiming that the U.S. is at a disadvantage in bilateral trade [2] - Switzerland has been labeled a "currency manipulator" by the U.S. due to its attempts to devalue the Swiss franc to boost exports [2]. Group 3: Government Response - The Swiss government plans to continue negotiations with the U.S. to lower tariffs and may implement support measures for Swiss companies facing pressure from the tariffs [3] - Proposed measures include more flexible policies regarding working hours and wages to prevent layoffs [3].
