The U.S. imposes a 50% tariff on Brazil; Brazil responds: It's not the U.S.'s backyard.

The United States has decided to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil for hosting the BRICS summit, and Brazil responded that it is not the backyard of the United States.

According to Reuters on July 9, Trump announced that starting from August 1, he would impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods to punish its hosting of the BRICS summit and its plan to move away from using the US dollar. He also said that subsequent taxes will be imposed on all countries participating in the BRICS summit, especially mentioning India.

Subsequently, the Vice President and Minister of Industry of Brazil, Geraldo Alckmin, stated that the United States earns money from Brazil every year (Brazil's trade deficit with the US) and still dares to lecture Brazil. We are not the backyard of the United States, nor do we want to be. If the United States imposes tariffs, let them regret it!
