Brazil hits back at Trump’s 50% tariff
Digest more
Trump pledged to impose tariffs on Brazil at a rate as high as 50%. He accused the country of "attacks" on US tech companies and of conducting a "witch hunt" against the far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, a longstanding ally who is facing prosecution over his alleged role in a plot to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.
The fight is rooted in years of political history between President Trump and the last two presidents of Brazil.
