Comment: @Wickster12345 Is this a translation from the German wiki? Would you mind posting the link here in comment? Superboilles (talk) 07:22, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Superboilles:, No it is not from the German Wiki. It is written from scratch Wickster12345 (talk) 22:32, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Initial discussions about a free trade agreement between Switzerland and the United States have been ongoing since the early 2000s.^[1] ^[2] The closest the two countries have become to beginning such negotiations was in 2006, though these attempts were suspended, mainly because of the resistance from the Swiss agricultural sector.^[3] In 2018, Swiss trade representatives revived the proposal by attracting interest from some U.S. officials such as Ambassador Edward McMullen.^[4] Since then, formal negotiations have yet to be initiated though the topic continues to comes up in economic policy discussions,^[5] though some Swiss commentators believe the Biden administration is less receptive than its predecessor.^[6]^[7]
