Swiss International Air Lines is discussing with U.S. officials ways to reduce Switzerland's 39% tariff burden, including the potential import of aircraft to help lower the U.S. trade deficit. The discussions follow the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration, which cited a significant trade deficit with Switzerland. CEO Jens Fehlinger suggested processing future Boeing purchases through Switzerland. While the idea has been mentioned, it remains vague, and any formal negotiations are under the purview of government agencies.
