flag Switzerland's government secured crucial backing for a major EU economic deal, advancing it toward a likely 2027 referendum.

flag Switzerland's government gained key support for a major EU economic agreement after the centre-right Liberals backed it 75-25, advancing the deal covering electricity, transport, state aid, and freedom of movement. flag The package, approved by the cabinet in June, faces a referendum likely no earlier than 2027. flag While the right-wing Swiss People’s Party opposes it over sovereignty concerns, public polling shows twice as many voters support the accord. flag The appeal of closer U.S. ties weakened after former President Trump imposed 39% tariffs on Swiss goods—higher than those on EU nations—leading the government to emphasize the deal’s role in ensuring economic stability amid global uncertainty.
