Description: Trump is hitting Brazil with a 50% tariff in protest of former President Jair Bolsonaro’s coup trial, escalating tensions between the two countries.

US President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports starting August 1, citing concerns over Brazil’s “attacks on Free Elections” and the ongoing trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, which he called a “witch hunt”.

The move follows Trump’s escalating rhetoric in defense of Bolsonaro and a formal protest from Brazil, marking a new flashpoint in US-Brazil relations.

Trump also vowed to investigate Brazil’s trade practices and warned of further retaliation if Brazil pushes back.
