Rubio blames Brazil’s 25% tariffs on Lula’s ‘ego’ — but exempts coffee and beef
The U.S. is imposing 25% tariffs on Brazil over unfair trade practices, effective July 22, exempting coffee, beef, and other goods. U.S. officials blame Brazil’s President Lula for not negotiating in good faith, while Lula accused rival Flávio Bolsonaro of influencing the decision. The tariffs are authorized under Section 301 of the Trade Act.
