BRAZIL RESPONDS TO U.S. TARIFF THREAT: COUNTERMEASURES UNDERWAY

– 50% U.S. tariff on Brazilian goods sparks swift reaction

– New Brazilian committee to assess and address economic fallout

Brazil has formed a “Negotiation and Trade Countermeasures Committee” in direct response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports. Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, who chairs the committee, stressed the need for immediate dialogue with affected industrial and agricultural sectors.

Meetings with exporters begin July 15, aiming to coordinate a unified national strategy. Alckmin confirmed that if the tariff is enacted, Brazil will respond with reciprocal trade actions. High-level talks between President Lula and key business leaders are also being scheduled.

This move signals Brazil’s commitment to protecting its economic interests through diplomacy—and potential retaliation.
