President Donald Trump said Wednesday the U.S. will slap a 50% tariff on Brazil’s imports, partly in retaliation for the ongoing prosecution of the country’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro.
Trump said the new tariff — a massive jump from the 10% rate the U.S. imposed on Brazil in early April — was also spurred by the “very unfair trade relationship” with the country, calling it “far from Reciprocal.”
The U.S. is also launching an investigation into potential unfair trade practices by Brazil, Trump said in a letter to Brazil’s current president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
The probe is based on “Brazil’s continued attacks on the Digital Trade activities of American Companies,” Trump wrote in the letter, which he shared publicly in a Truth Social post.
lmao
Doesn't this just further strengthen BRICS in the long run?
i hope so, because we are gonna need it now. brazillian burgeois seem to want to cozy up to trump though.
Brazilian chuds are insane, I wish Lula would confront these lunatics
confrontation and anti-systemic rhetoric is very popular right now but lula refuses to do any meaninful confrontation.
he did bare-minimum confrontation related to our debt ceiling policy recently, and that was already super popular. people crave this.
Yup, unless one is a worker's party simp, every leftist militant is angry with Lula right now.
