Trump targets Brazil with 25% tariff, accuses Lula government of unfair trade practices
The Donald Trump administration announced a 25% tariff on certain Brazilian imports under Section 301 of the Trade Act.
The US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer cited Brazilian policies on digital trade, tariffs, intellectual property, ethanol access, and deforestation as unfair trade practices.
The tariff action follows a year-long investigation and failed negotiations with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government.
The escalation in trade tensions targets specific Brazilian imports, though the exact goods are not named in the report.
