President and Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter responded by reaffirming Switzerland\u2019s intent to solidify its relationship with the EU\u2014pointing to a political deal reached in December as a potential foundation for deeper integration.<\/p>\n<p>While Switzerland has historically resisted binding EU ties, seeing itself as wealthier, more autonomous, and less bureaucratic than its neighbors, the shifting geopolitical terrain is challenging that mindset. In a symbolic move, Keller-Sutter is set to join EU finance ministers for the first time, as cooperation on economic and security fronts becomes harder to avoid.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/g7-leaders-seek-unity-amid-market-turmoil-sparked-by-u-s-trade-moves\/\" title=\"G7 Leaders Seek Unity Amid Market Turmoil Sparked by U.S. Trade Moves\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/g7-scaled-1-240x170.jpeg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">G7 Leaders Seek Unity Amid Market Turmoil Sparked by U.S. Trade Moves<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Within Switzerland, the debate remains heated. Critics warn that any alignment with the EU threatens the country\u2019s independence, while others, like lawmaker Franziska Roth, argue that stronger partnerships are now essential to safeguard national interests. Even some EU-skeptical voices have criticized the U.S. tariffs, hinting at a softening stance.<\/p>\n<p>With Germany\u2019s economy slowing and the U.S. pivoting toward protectionism, Swiss industry leaders are calling for diversification\u2014looking toward Asia as another growth outlet. Still, many agree that a more anchored relationship with Europe is no longer just strategic, but necessary. As one former ambassador put it, the old world order is cracking, and Switzerland must act before it\u2019s left behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caught off guard by
