Brazil calls Trump's 25% tariff unjustifiable, threatens reciprocal tariffs
The United States will impose a 25% tariff on selected imports from Brazil starting July 22, citing unfair trade practices. Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva rejected these claims and announced plans to invoke countermeasures under its reciprocity law and pursue the issue through the World Trade Organization. The new tariffs could pressure Brazilian exports and create uncertainty for businesses in both nations.
