Swiss-US Tariff Talks Helmed by Parmelin, Keller-Sutter Says

Swiss Economy Minister Guy Parmelin — and not President Karin Keller-Sutter — is in charge of the trade talks with the US, according to a finance ministry spokesman.

While Keller-Sutter said in New York on Wednesday that Parmelin is “handling the tariff negotiations,” her spokesman told Bloomberg that the area of international commerce has always been in the remit of the Swiss economy ministry.
