US EditionTrump Signs Order Increasing Brazil Tariff to 50 Percent
- On July 30, 2025, an executive order was issued by U.S. leadership to apply a 40% tariff on a wide array of Brazilian products, with exemptions for orange juice and specific aircraft components.
- This tariff move follows ongoing legal disputes in Brazil, including the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro and U.S. sanctions against Justice Alexandre de Moraes, amid concerns over judicial abuses.
- Brazil is engaged in discussions with the United States to secure exemptions for crucial sectors, including Embraer aircraft and food exports, from proposed tariffs, while domestic producers and analysts caution about significant economic challenges.
- Embraer directs nearly half of its commercial airplane sales to the U.S. market, while Brazil ships the vast majority—around 90%—of its fruit exports there, underscoring the importance of these exemptions according to officials like Ports Minister Silvio Costa Filho.
- The tariffs, effective August 1 or August 8, may cause short-term trade disruptions but are unlikely to cause structural damage, as exporters plan to redirect flows, and Brazil prepares relief measures excluding tax exemptions.
