WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said on Wednesday his administration will charge Brazil with a 50% tariff on products sent to the U.S. starting August 1 while the Republican leader also expressed support for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Trump made his comments in a letter to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The U.S. president has also been critical of the BRICS countries, of which Brazil is a key part.
Trump’s letter said the 50% tariff will be separate from all sectoral tariffs.
