Ha, Trump Raises Swiss Tariffs Over Leader's Call Tone

In a Fox Business interview, Trump explained imposing a 30% tariff on Swiss goods like luxury watches and pharmaceuticals, then raising it to 39% because the call from Switzerland's leader felt too aggressive. The move addressed a roughly $38-42 billion U.S. trade deficit, though tariffs later dropped to 15% after negotiations amid controversy over gifts like a Rolex clock. Critics highlight the personal decision-making as evidence against using emergency powers for tariffs, fueling Supreme Court challenges and House debates where some Republicans joined Democrats to allow votes on blocking them.
