Brazil Threatens Reciprocal Tariffs After US Targets Imports
Brazilian exporters face more than $11 billion in affected shipments as exemptions cover beef, coffee and aircraft parts, officials and analysts said.
- On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, a 25% U.S. tariff on specific Brazilian goods took effect following a year-long investigation into alleged unfair trade practices.
- The American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil warned the measure affects more than $11 billion in exports, while analyst Valentina Sader of the Atlantic Council noted the action 'reinforces the perception that the action is directed not only at Brazil's trade practices, but also politically at Lula himself.'
- Seeking to avoid escalation, Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin stated on Tuesday that Brazil will pursue negotiations rather than retaliation, with roughly half of Brazil's exports to the United States remaining excluded from the duty.
- Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC that new action over forced labor concerns will cover a majority of U.S. trade as temporary global levies expire on Friday, July 24, 2026.
- Greer travels to Mexico this week for USMCA review discussions, while U.S. negotiations with Canada regarding a separate free trade pact remain slow amid ongoing North American trade talks.
