特朗普对瑞士开征税率高达39%？瑞士手表在美售价或将上涨

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implications of the new "reciprocal tariffs" imposed by the U.S. on Switzerland, highlighting the significant impact on Swiss exports, particularly in the watch and pharmaceutical industries, and the potential for price increases in Swiss goods in the U.S. market [3][6][12]. Group 1: Tariff Impact on Swiss Exports - The U.S. has raised the "reciprocal tariff" on Switzerland from 31% to 39%, making it one of the highest rates imposed by the U.S. on any country [3][12]. - The Swiss watch industry, which accounts for 16.8% of Swiss global exports, could see prices rise by over 20% due to the new tariffs [6][10]. - Other Swiss exports, including chocolate, cheese, and coffee, are also expected to be affected, with coffee products alone representing 1 billion Swiss francs in exports to the U.S. [6][12]. Group 2: Pharmaceutical Industry Response - The pharmaceutical sector, which constitutes 40% of Swiss exports, is particularly concerned about the tariffs, as 60% of its exports go to the U.S. [9][10]. - Major Swiss pharmaceutical companies like Novartis and Roche have announced significant investments in U.S. production to mitigate tariff impacts, with Roche planning to invest 50 billion USD over five years [10]. - Analysts suggest that while tariffs may affect cash flow, the pharmaceutical companies have the capacity to absorb higher tariffs compared to reducing drug prices, which could be politically challenging [9][10]. Group 3: Trade Relations and Negotiations - The Swiss government expressed regret over the tariff increase and indicated a willingness to negotiate with the U.S. to find a solution that aligns with Swiss laws and international obligations [12][13]. - The U.S. trade deficit with Switzerland has increased significantly, with a 56.9% year-over-year rise, highlighting the complexities in the trade relationship [12].
