Switzerland Says It's Halting Weapons Exports Licenses to US, Citing Neutrality

"Exports of war materiel to the USA cannot currently be authorised. Since the escalation of the conflict on 28 February, no new licences have been issued for exports of war materiel to the USA."

"The country said it would not authorize the export of weapons to countries involved in the war 'for the duration of the conflict.'"

"Switzerland has previously barred flights over its airspace and weapons licenses to the U.S., when the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003."

Switzerland has announced a halt to issuing weapons export licenses to the U.S. due to its neutrality principles amid the ongoing conflict. The country stated that no new licenses for war materiel exports to the U.S. have been authorized since February 28. Additionally, Switzerland has not issued export licenses for military equipment to Israel or Iran for several years. The Swiss government also denied flyover requests from U.S. aircraft related to the conflict, marking a significant stance against U.S. military actions.
