On April 10, 2025, the United States implemented a flat 10% tariff on imports from all countries, including Brazil, replacing previously announced country-specific rates for the next 90 days. China and Hong Kong are exceptions, facing tariffs as high as 125%. The Trump administration says this move is about ensuring reciprocity and protecting American industry, but the Brazilian government has voiced strong objections. According to a joint press release from Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, the Brazilian government regrets the White House decision, calling it a violation of WTO commitments and noting the measure will impact all Brazilian exports to the United States.
The dispute is significant, as the U.S. posted a $7 billion trade surplus with Brazil on goods in 2024, and an even larger $28.6 billion surplus when goods and services are combined, making Brazil one of the largest contributors to the U.S. trade balance. Over the past 15 years, the U.S. trade surplus with Brazil has totaled $410 billion. The Brazilian government argues these numbers undercut the Trump administration’s claims of unfair trade practices and has pledged to pursue dialogue to reverse the new tariffs. Brazil is simultaneously considering all available responses, including action at the World Trade Organization and possible “reciprocity” measures, as a bill allowing for counter-tariffs is under review in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies.
These new tariffs come on the heels of product-specific U.S. increases, such as a 25% tariff on Brazilian steel, aluminum, and automotive exports announced in March and April. Last year, the value of Brazilian exports from these sectors to the U.S. totaled nearly $7 billion, with steel accounting for the largest share, according to Brazil’s Industry and Trade Ministry. Officials in Brasília say these tariffs strike at the very core of Brazil’s industrial exports and risk raising tensions further unless a negotiated solution can be reached.
Despite these new obstacles, Brazilian leadership, including Vice President and Trade Minister Geraldo Alckmin, continues to push for dialogue instead of retaliation. However, Brazil’s new “reciprocity” bill—passed by the Senate and awaiting action in the Chamber of Deputies—would, if necessary, empower Brazil to impose retaliatory tariffs and suspend intellectual property protections for U.S. goods and services.
Listeners, as the situation evolves, these tariffs are certain to affect pricing, supply chains, and the competitiveness of Brazilian products in the U.S. market. We’ll keep tracking every development as Brazil weighs its options and pushes for a negotiated solution.
