The Trump administration said Thursday it will impose 25% tariffs on most Brazilian goods in response to the South American country\u2019s trade practices.<\/p>\n

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said the levies resulted from a Section 301 investigation of Brazil\u2019s treatment of U.S. tech companies, ethanol products and \u201cillegal deforestation\u201d that \u201cpersists to the detriment of the U.S. industry,\u201d among other factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy imposing a 25% tariff on certain goods of Brazil, President Trump is leveling the playing field with Brazil to defend American farmers, workers, innovators, and businesses from Brazil\u2019s unfair trading practices while creating a pathway to resolve these issues,\u201d the USTR said in a written statement.<\/p>\n

Though sweeping in nature, the administration exempted coffee, beef and other agricultural goods, plus raw-material imports that the U.S. might need.<\/p>\n

The levies are part of Mr. Trump\u2019s attempt to rebuild his tariff structure on other nations after the Supreme Court struck down his use of a 1977 economic-powers law to impose unilateral tariffs on other nations.<\/p>\n

Instead of slapping levies on nations at will, Mr. Trump is using levers that justify new tariffs based on national security concerns or unfair practices in other countries. Issuing those tariffs requires a formal investigation, a process that can take months.<\/p>\n

In its release, the trade representative pointed to court-ordered censorship of U.S. tech companies such as X, Meta, and Google, and accused Brazil of giving preferential tariff treatment to countries other than the U.S.<\/p>\n

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called the U.S. decision \u201clamentable,\u201d particularly since the U.S. tends to run a trade surplus with Brazil.<\/p>\n

He said the decision seemed driven in part by Mr. Trump\u2019s alliance with Jair Bolsonaro, the former Brazilian president who faced prosecution for his actions following his refusal to concede an election defeat in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne cannot love Brazil only when we win elections. Protecting our sovereignty is an obligation that stands above all parties and all trends,\u201d Mr. Lula posted on X. \u201cThe Brazilian government will not falter in its duty to preserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump says tariffs, which are duties on foreign goods brought into U.S. markets, are a great way to raise revenue and protect U.S. industries.<\/p>\n

Democrats and free-market critics of Mr. Trump\u2019s tariffs say wide-ranging tariffs are counterproductive because they tend to raise prices for U.S. consumers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese tariffs are a blunt tool with a weak connection between the practices at issue and the American companies that will bear the costs,\u201d said Dan Anthony, executive director of We Pay the Tariffs, a coalition of small businesses that oppose Mr. Trump\u2019s tariffs. \u201cBusinesses buying everyday products from Brazil will now pay new tariffs because of disputes over digital payment rules and other policies they have nothing to do with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some industries were pleased to be spared in the new batch of tariffs on Brazilian products.<\/p>\n

William Murray, president and CEO of the National Coffee Association, said it is \u201ccritical for more than 176 million daily U.S. coffee drinkers and our $343 billion coffee economy that any tariffs resulting from the current Special 301 investigations exclude all coffee and coffee products.\u201d<\/p>\n
