The tariff imposed on dozens of countries had been first announced by the Republican on the so -called Liberation Day on April 2, and now reached its definitive version after being postponed to achieve agreements.
Brazil got the highest percentage
Since the last 9th, the Brazil It became the main target target of the tariffs. That day, a 50% tax about imports from the country.
The White House this week officially charged 40% to the 10% announced in April, which total 50%. Through a presidential decree, Trump justified the measure based on the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, saying that he and his supporters suffer “persecution, intimidation, censorship and a process politically motivated by the Brazilian government.”
Trump also argued that actions by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes considered to violate human rights contributed to the decision.
