Brazil requests WTO consultations over US tariffs
Brazil says the U.S. measures are unjustified and incompatible with trade rules, as the WTO filing begins a formal dispute process.
- On July 27, Brazil filed a request for consultations with the United States at the World Trade Organization , challenging new tariffs the foreign ministry called "unjustified and incompatible" with trade rules.
- President Donald Trump's government imposed tariffs in July on Brazilian products, charging 25 per cent for alleged unfair trade practices and 12.5 per cent for alleged use of forced labour.
- Diplomatic tensions peaked July 25 when Brazil denied visas for two US officials, while President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva denounced the tariffs as election interference.
- Brazil previously used the same dispute-settlement process in 2025, when Washington imposed 50 per cent tariffs following the imprisonment of former president Jair Bolsonaro; this step precedes formal panel review.
- The October election features a race between Lula and right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, whom Lula alleges encouraged tariff pressure with Trump to gain a ballot advantage.
