If Karin Keller Sutter and Guy Parmelin made a unsuccessful round trip to Washington, a team of senior Confederation has remained in the United States. These are members of the “piloting structure” of Swiss relations United States. This Task Force, created in an emergency in early April in response to Donald Trump’s threat to impose customs taxes of 31%, is now a main negotiation tool with the American administration.
Untilly invisible, this Task Force has a face in the person of Ambassador Gabriel Lüchinger, the “special envoy of the Federal Council”. Unlike a Thomas Borer, a flamboyant diplomat who animated the Task Force of the Federal Council in the late 1990s in response to the crisis of “Disherence Funds”, the former secretary general of the UDC would almost pass for the invisible man. He gives no maintenance to the press and never appears in the foreground. He was given the success of the Peace Summit in Bürgenstock last year, and a solid address book.
