United States President Donald Trump announced a 50% rate on products imported from Brazil. The measure directly affects strategic sectors of the national economy and can aggravate trade relations between the two countries.
Main Brazilian exports to the United States
Brute oil leads the list of Brazilian products sold to the US, generating billions of dollars in annual revenue. In addition to it, Brazil often exports iron and steel in semi -west shapes, such as ingots and blocks, used by the American industry.
The aeronautical sector is also highlighted. Embraer sends aircraft and parts to airlines and air services in the United States, maintaining a longstanding partnership. In agriculture, Brazilian coffee – especially in raw and non -decaf grains – remains among the most traditional products in the US market. Cellulose, despite registering price and demand fluctuations, continues to be among the main items sold to the US.
What Brazil imports from the USA
In the opposite direction, Brazil buys the United States essentials essential for its economy. Refined fuels, such as diesel and gasoline, complete national energy demand and avoid risk of scarcity in the domestic market.
In addition, the country imports aircraft and parts manufactured by Boeing, strengthening the Brazilian aeronautical sector. Non -electrical machinery and equipment, such as industrial engines and heavy machinery, supply various productive segments.
Agribusiness depends strongly on US -imported chemical fertilizers and fertilizers, which guarantee field productivity. The plastics industry uses ethylene polymers purchased from Americans, such as raw material to manufacture packaging, automotive parts and medical equipment.
Impacts and next steps
The new fare can increase the cost of Brazilian products in the US market, reducing their competitiveness against other global suppliers. Experts warn of possible chain effects, such as export drop, revenue loss and broader commercial tensions.
The Brazilian government still evaluates how to respond to the measure. Sources from the diplomatic and economic sector discuss alternatives to try to reduce damage and protect national exports.
