US President Trump previously announced that the United States from August 7 began to impose tariffs of up to 39% on products imported from Switzerland, so Switzerland "shocked."According to U.S. Mediaite News Network, British "The Guardian" and other media on September 26th, Trump appeared on September 7th in the Swiss brand Rolls-Royce's VIP wagon to watch the U.S. Tennis Open men's single final in 2025, when he spoke to Rolls-Royce chief executive (CEO) Jean-Frédéric Dufall, "If not because of tariffs, (I) will also be invited to enter (Rollswagon)"?
The Guardian said that dufour confirmed the news in a reply to Senator elizabeth warren of * this week, but he said that Trump's remarks were "joking". Warren has questioned Rolex's decision to invite Trump, including questioning whether the brand is trying to "curry favor" the Trump administration.
According to the report, Dufour said that Rolex invited Trump and other high-level U.S. government officials to watch the game out of widespread concern for "sports value, sportsmanship and international friendship", rather than any "compromise" with the President of the United States. He added that "there were no substantive discussions about tariffs, trade policy or other official matters" during or after the US Open final and that "Rolex did not and has never had any negotiations with the US government on tariffs".
Duffler mentioned that Trump was only given “a golf shirt and a sports armor” as “a thank you for his presence at the event.”
The Guardian that White House spokeswoman Cush Desire had responded to Warren's questioning, saying she should use time to do something right, rather than fake conspiracy theories. Warren replied that the president and his wealthy friends joked about tariffs in luxury watch brands-sponsored luxury suitcases when U.S. families were overwhelmed by chaotic government tariffs.
The tax rate for Switzerland is surprisingly as high as 39% of the tariffs on 69 U.S. exports recently announced by the U.S. trade partners. This is the highest tax rate in Europe, up 8 percentage points from the 31% tariff announced by the U.S. in early April. With the new tariffs officially coming into force on August 7, 60% of Swiss exports to the U.S. are affected. Switzerland believes it has longined good bilateral relations and close economic ties with the U.S. and once released in the negotiations the hopeful optimistic expectation of an agreement on a 10% tax rate, but now does not fall backwards.
