Brazil threatens reciprocal tariffs after US targets imports

Brazil has threatened reciprocal tariffs on U.S. products after the U.S. imposed new 25% tariffs on certain Brazilian imports, citing unfair trade practices. Brazil's government disputes the U.S. claims, highlighting that 76% of U.S. imports enter Brazil duty-free in 2025 and that the average tariff on U.S. products is 3.1%. The U.S. trade surplus with Brazil, which reached nearly $42 billion last year, is a key point in the dispute.
