Listeners, today is August 29, 2025, and the spotlight is on escalating trade tensions between the United States and Brazil. Under President Donald Trump’s second term, the US has imposed a cumulative 50% tariff on Brazilian imports—10% under Executive Order 14326 and an additional 40% under Order 14323, both effective since early August. This is now the highest tariff rate faced by any US trading partner except China, according to OpportTimes and confirmed by a Visual Capitalist infographic based on White House and CNN data.

These sweeping measures, labeled "reciprocal tariffs," are part of Trump’s campaign to reshape America's global trade relationships. The administration justified these hikes by accusing Brazil of unfair trade practices and referencing the ongoing trial against former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, a Trump ally, for attempted coup plotting. In correspondence to President Lula, Trump denounced the charges as a “witch hunt” and declared Brazil’s actions a US "national emergency." However, a few critical goods, such as oranges and Embraer aircraft—major Brazilian exports—were specifically exempted from the new tariffs, following tense negotiations by senior Brazilian officials as covered by e-IR and Mexico Business News.

The real-world impact is significant. Brazilian beef exports to the US have declined sharply, with a notable pivot to Mexico and China: by late August, Brazil shipped over 10,000 metric tons of beef to Mexico, compared to just 7,800 tons to the US in the same period, according to Ainvest. Mexico now absorbs much of the supply, prompted in part by its own tariff suspensions under inflation-fighting policies.

In response to the US tariffs, President Lula has authorized Brazil’s Foreign Ministry and its trade body Camex to launch a formal assessment and consider activating the country’s newly passed reciprocity law. If found applicable, Brazil could retaliate with similar measures targeting US exports, potentially escalating the trade dispute further. Diplomatic sources tell Channel News Asia and Tasnim News that Brazil will formally notify Washington this Friday, keeping the door open for negotiations, but preparing countermeasures should talks stall.

Analysts suggest the fallout will affect Brazilian industries beyond agriculture, with manufacturers and regional leaders already seeing reverberations. The broader expectation is that Brazil may increasingly turn to markets outside the US, particularly China and Mexico, for trade growth and diversification, as discussed in e-IR and Ainvest.
