Topline
President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil—the highest rate he has announced since he began announcing new levies this week in letters on social media—directly citing the country’s ongoing prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, which he referred to as an “international disgrace” and a “witch hunt.”
The steep tariff was announced days after Trump said BRICS had “Anti-American policies.”
