Switzerland’s government will hold an emergency meeting on Thursday to consider the fallout from its failure to avert the highest US tariffs on any developed country.

President Karin Keller-Sutter and the other six members of the cabinet will meet for an extraordinary gathering and will inform the public after that, a spokesman said on X on Thursday.
