Brazil Evaluates Retaliation Against US Tariffs Amid Rising Trade Tensions
Friday, 29 August 2025 () Brazilian authorities have tasked the country’s Chamber of Foreign Trade with conducting a detailed assessment of possible countermeasures following new tariffs imposed by the US administration. Over the next month, Brazilian legislators are expected to determine whether Washington’s actions fall under the provisions of the recently adopted Economic Reciprocity Law, which was approved by Congress in July. The law is designed to establish mechanisms to protect Brazil’s national interests from unilateral restrictive measures by major trading partners, primarily the United States. Impact of US Tariffs The new US tariffs, set at 50%, affect a substantial portion of Brazilian exports. Although the United States provided approximately 700 exemptions for strategic sectors such as aerospace, energy, and selected agricultural products, the overall effect has been highly significant for Brazil’s economy. In response, the Brazilian government has initiated consultations with the World Trade Organization, arguing that the tariffs violate international commitments under the WTO framework.
