US Trade Deals

The United States announced on Nov. 14 that it had reached a trade agreement with Switzerland, reducing tariffs to 15 percent, down from 39 percent, one of the higher rates imposed on a country.

Under the agreement, Switzerland intends to “encourage and facilitate” $200 billion of investment into the United States over the next five years, to create manufacturing and research and development jobs.”
