Description

In this episode we dive into a major development in international trade: the Trump administration’s decision to impose 39% tariffs on Swiss goods.
What could this mean for Switzerland’s economy and its long-standing relationship with the United States?
Is it time to rethink trade alliances — and what role can the WTO still play in managing tensions like these?
Join us as we unpack the implications with expert insights and explore what’s at stake for Switzerland and global trade.

Our guest is Cédric Dupont, Professor of international relations and political science here at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
