Washington suggests 25% tariffs on Brazil
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump proposed to impose a 25% customs duty on Brazilian imports, alleging that its trade practices place a burden on American commerce. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expressed his dissatisfaction with the decision and accused Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who recently visited Washington, of being responsible for this measure. Some of Bolsonaro's allies referred to him as the "Tropical Trump." This comes amid tensions in the trade relations between the two countries, after an American investigation accused Brazil of violating free trade rules and implementing unfair tariffs, despite the ongoing trade surplus that the U.S. has with Brazil.
