Brazil, Bolsonaro and Donald Trump
Digest more
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he planned to hit Brazil with a 50% tariff, in part because of the treatment of its former president Jair Bolsonaro, his political ally.
President Donald Trump has been sending letters to countries outlining higher tariffs they’ll face if they don’t make trade deals with the U.S. by Aug. 1.
The president uses levies to cajole nations on political priorities, including many unrelated to trade.
