Since late July, the US has successively applied tariff pressure on Brazil. On the 22nd, after completing the 301 investigation against Brazil, the US side officially imposed 25% tariffs on some Brazilian products; on the 24th, the US side also began imposing tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on dozens of trade partners, including Brazil, on the grounds of so-called “failure to effectively stop forced labor.” Analysts pointed out that the application of unilateral tariff suppression by the United States against Brazil seriously violates the WTO principle of reciprocity and is a typical act of trade protectionism. This move will also force Brazil to accelerate its trade diversification strategy and reduce excessive dependence on the US market.
