[Ignoring Trump's Tariffs, Swiss Exports to the U.S. Hit Record High in 2025] Jin10 News, January 29 – Despite U.S. President Trump imposing the highest tariffs of his term on Switzerland for a period of time, Swiss exports to the United States reached a record high in 2025. Data released by Swiss customs on Thursday showed that last year, Swiss exports to the U.S. (excluding gold) amounted to 54.7 billion Swiss francs (approximately $71.5 billion), a 3.9% increase compared to 2024. Due to a 5.7% decline in imports, Switzerland's trade surplus with the U.S. reached 41.4 billion Swiss francs, the highest in history. The United States remains the primary destination for Swiss goods, with nearly 20% of Switzerland's exports directed to the U.S. Overall data for 2025 indicates that, thanks to the strong performance of pharmaceutical and chemical products, Switzerland's total exports also hit a record high. However, exports of machinery and electronic equipment declined, and watch exports also experienced a drop.
