Secretary Scott Bessent's Remarks before the American Swiss Foundation

As prepared for delivery Good afternoon. And greetings from the United States. It’s an honor to join you today. Over the last eight decades, the American Swiss Foundation has played a central role in deepening the historic bond between the United States and Switzerland. Its leadership includes a long lineage of great Americans—from the late-Ambassador Shelby Cullom Davis to the late-Ambassador Faith Whittlesey, who helped transform this organization into what it is today. The success of the American Swiss Foundation is a tribute to her enduring legacy. Bob Giuffra honors the Ambassador’s legacy through his leadership as the Chairman of this organization, as does Markus Diethelm as Co-Chair. Thank you, Bob and Markus, for the great work you both are doing to strengthen Swiss-American ties.
