Brazil condemns US-imposed 25 pct tariffs on products
The Brazilian presidency condemned on July 16 the United States' decision to impose 25 percent tariffs on certain Brazilian products.
"The Brazilian government repudiates the decision announced today by the United States government regarding the imposition of 25 percent tariffs on Brazilian products," the office of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said in a statement on X, denying "alleged unfair trade practices."
The United States on July 15 announced a new tariff on various imports from Brazil, after a year-long investigation into the Latin American giant’s trade and other policies.
The 25 percent tariff is set to take effect July 22, a senior U.S. official told reporters.
