Brazil calls Trump’s 25% tariff unjust and vows to impose reciprocal tariffs

Brazil condemned the United States’ decision to impose a new 25% tariff on certain Brazilian imports, calling it unjust and politically driven. The government said the move affects thousands of items and pressures Brazilian exporters. Brazil’s top diplomat criticized U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and said Brazil will consider retaliation, including reciprocal tariffs under its own legislation and through World Trade Organization dispute mechanisms. The U.S. justified the step by alleging unfair trade practices by Brazil.
