Trump imposes 25% tariffs on Brazilian goods, signaling broader trade push

President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods from Brazil after a year-long review found unfair trade practices; several imports are exempt (civil aircraft, beef, yellowfin tuna, pharmaceuticals, coffee, fruit and nuts), with the levies set to take effect July 22 and more tariffs expected under Section 301. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that had curtailed his authority, and the United States has run a trade surplus with Brazil in recent years.
