President Donald Trump said the US would put 50% on Wednesday rate on imports with Brazil Starting on August 1, partially retaliation for the permanent persecution of former President Jir Balsanar.

Trump said in a letter What is the new tariff – a massive jump of 10% rate The US, imposed on imports from Brazil in early April, is also a response to “very unfair trade relations” between the two countries.

In a letter to the current Brazilian president, Luis Hipanio Loule followed nearly two dozen others, who recently sent another world leader, dictating steep new tariff rates on the goods they sell in the US

But the letter to Lula goes further than the rest, introducing a new rate of tax on US import tax, clearly as a punishment for the country that deals with internal political and legal affairs that Trump does not like.

The value of Brazil’s currency, realAfter Trump’s announcement, more than 2% fell to the US dollar.

Earlier, Trump was heard in Brazil over his Bolsonar treatment, a vocal ally of the US president, which is A permanent test Above its role in the alleged coup to cancel the loss of re -election in 2022.

Trump called the situation “international shame” in a letter he publicly shared into Truth social post. He struck Balsanar’s lawsuit as “hunting for witches”, sounding the language he used to describe the many criminal investigations he encountered before winning the US presidential election.

He also deteriorated against “insidious attacks by Brazil for free elections, and the fundamental rights of Americans” apparently referring to The Supreme Court of BrazilThe latest ruling that can attract platforms in social media is responsible for the content of its users.

Trump also claimed that Brazil’s trade policy caused a “unstable trade deficit against the United States”, which threatens the US and national security.

But the US has a trade surplus of goods with Brazil, which amounted to $ 7.4 billion in 2024, reports Office of the US Trade Representative.

The US has also launched an investigation into the potential unjust trading practices of Brazil, Trump writes.

He said the probe was based on “Brazil’s permanent attacks on digital trading activities of US companies.”

“Please realize that 50% number is much smaller than what you need to have equal conditions we need to have with your country,” Trump wrote. “And it is necessary to have this to correct the serious injustice of the current regime.”

Parts of the letter to Lula correspond to the glory of 21 tariffs, which Trump has sent to other world leaders on Monday.

All these letters show that the new tariffs for the blanket are individual from other “industry” duties on import of certain products such as steel, aluminum and cars.

All of them also make a preventive warning that if countries decide to raise their own import taxes on American goods for any reason, then the United States will increase the tariff rate for an equivalent amount.

And all of them note that the US “may consider adjusting” if the countries get rid of its tariffs and non -tariff barriers.

“These tariffs can be changed, up or down, depending on our relationship with your country,” Trump says in all letters. “You will never be disappointed by the United States.”

Recipriers are a mixture of major US trading partners, including Japan and South Korea, and smaller economies such as Moldova and Brunei.

Tariffs for these 21 countries make up from 20% to 40%. They are all willing to start August 1 while Trump has insisted that “no extensions will be provided.”
