Brazilian coffee, beef and tropical fruit will still be tariffed 40%, says Brazil’s vice president
Despite some tariff cuts, a 40% levy remains on key Brazilian exports to the U.S., affecting coffee, beef, and tropical fruits, covering 74% of export goods, Vice President Alckmin said.
- On Saturday, Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin said Brazilian exports to the U.S., including coffee, beef and tropical fruits, remain subject to a 40% additional tariff despite some levies being removed on Friday.
- In July, the administration imposed a 40% tariff linked to Jair Bolsonaro's trial, which critics called overtly political, Alckmin said.
- Market signals showed stress, with record-high beef prices noted and tariffs cited as a factor, while Pavel Cardoso, president of the Brazilian Association of the Coffee Industry, pledged to ensure legal certainty and competitiveness.
- The vice president welcomed the move but said a distortion remains to be fixed as Friday's decision means 26% of Brazilian goods enter the U.S. without additional tariffs, praising Lula's talks with Trump.
- Diplomacy continued with ministerial talks this week as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira, while Democrats criticized Friday's move and the administration defended tariffs.
