Lots of comments that "this is a false distraction to justify war on Panama". War on Panama is about interdicting Chinese commerce with Brazil and other countries south of US. Including FDI in Panama to boost its cross ocean trade volume through a railway.
This is more of a classified leak exposing US weakness and impotence. This does compromise stupid people's faith in US protections across the world, and their rulers corrupt submission to US under propaganda of US protection.
Someone got fired for unauthorized leak today. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-850238
they already forced a 100% tariff on chinese imports in brazil
I'm only aware of 30% tariffs on Chinese steel in Brazil, which is same mistake any manufacturing country can make. This was under Biden. They are unpopular, and Brazil still does significant trade with China.
a) we are not a manufacturing country. we mostly sell raw materials to china
b) manufactured chinese imports are taxed 100%, not raw materials. think consumer goods. we have a few exceptions, like EVs
