Trump’s Shock-and-Awe Tariffs Haven’t Fueled a Manufacturing Jobs Boom

UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – Trump cites Brazil's legal actions against former president Bolsonaro and digital content laws to justify tariffs despite limited national security basis, marking a pattern of tariff use.

  • U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazil on Wednesday, citing anger over Brazil's legal action against Jair Bolsonaro.
  • The tariff was justified by Trump due to Brazil’s legal action against Bolsonaro and laws holding digital giants responsible, despite limited statutory authority grounded in national security.
  • The tariff authority is legally limited to national security concerns, with broader trade measures falling under Congress's legislative powers.
  • Economists warn that Trump’s haphazard tariffs are increasing long-term pressure on U.S. manufacturing.
  • Absent congressional restraint, President Donald Trump is likely to continue imposing tariffs, risking ongoing economic and legislative conflicts, likened to persistent blackmail.
