Small country: Big tariffs

Description:

We head to Switzerland, a small but very successful country with a population of just 9 million.

And now coping with some of US President Donald Trump’s highest tariffs.

In August the original threat of 31% tariffs was raised to 39%.

Two months on, efforts to negotiate with Washington have proved fruitless and the Swiss economy, regularly ranked as the most competitive in the world, is starting to slow down.
