BASEL, SWITZERLAND - APRIL 11: General view of the Swiss pharmaceutical and drug company Novartis AG headquarters on April 11, 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. Before US President Donald Trump postponed a range of imminent tariffs, Switzerland was facing a daunting 31% levy on most Swiss goods to imported to the United States, a higher rate than would have been imposed on European Union countries.

The reprieve will provide breathing room for Swiss officials looking to negotiate a deal with the US, although Swiss goods will still face a 10% tariff in the meantime, and the fate of a potential separate tariff on pharmaceuticals is unknown.
