ZURICH (Reuters) -Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter declined to say whether her country could this year strike a deal on tariffs with U.S. President Donald Trump, following trade tensions that have strained relations between the two nations.

"It's not possible to forecast," Keller-Sutter said in a Tages-Anzeiger newspaper interview published on Friday when asked about the possibility of an agreement in 2025. "Everything depends on whether the U.S. president gives the green light or not."
