Trump administration proposes 25% tariffs on Brazil, citing "unreasonable'' trade practices
The Trump administration proposed 25% tariffs on Brazil over 'unreasonable' trade practices, citing lax anti-corruption enforcement and unfair tariffs. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative conducted the investigation, and the plan excludes over half of U.S. imports from Brazil, including aircraft and minerals. The administration invoked Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 for the investigation.
