US Slaps 25% Tariffs on Brazil

The Trump administration announced 25% tariffs on Brazilian goods, set to take effect on July 22, following a yearlong Section 301 investigation.

The tariffs target a wide range of products, including those linked to digital trade and deforestation practices.

Brazil's government condemned the move, calling it unjustified, and warned of retaliatory measures.

The escalation comes as bilateral ties had already deteriorated, with the US tariffs seen as a further blow to the relationship ahead of the Brazilian presidential election.
