April 25 (Reuters) - The United States wants a tariff solution with Switzerland, the Swiss president said in a Friday interview after meeting U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington.

"We are satisfied with the talks we have held," President Karin Keller-Sutter told national broadcaster SRF, adding the U.S. was planning to hold "privileged negotiations" with a group of 15 countries, with Switzerland among them.

Drawing up a declaration of intent as soon as possible would be the next step, Keller-Sutter said, after which negotiations could start.

"U.S. authorities have expressed a clear desire to find a solution with Switzerland," Keller-Sutter told SRF.
