AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoUAS Trade Shock: The US has signed Section 232 tariffs on imported unmanned aircraft systems and key components, with duties up to 100% for larger drones (over 25kg), thermal-imaging models, and related docking stations and sensitive parts; 25% applies to smaller drones, while qualifying imports from the EU, Japan, Liechtenstein, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan face 15% and the UK 10%. Liechtenstein Angle: Liechtenstein is explicitly named among the lower-rate “qualifying” markets, but the reduced rates hinge on strict origin rules and certification. Implementation Timeline: The main tariffs start Sept 3, 2026 (about 21 days after signing), while some component measures run on a longer schedule (up to 180 days). EU Sanctions Alignment: The EU welcomed Liechtenstein and other non-EU partners joining restrictive measures tied to Belarus’s support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Cyber & Finance Risk: Liechtenstein’s government reiterated it will not pay ransom after a major cyberattack on its foundations and trusts registry. Vatican Finance Appointments: Pope Leo XIV appointed Liechtenstein’s Princess Gisela Bergmann to the Vatican’s Council for the Economy, bringing engineering and private-wealth management experience into Holy See financial oversight.
