美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布的对大多数巴西商品征收50%的关税将于8月6日生效,比最初宣布的8月1日晚。此举与巴西对前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗的起诉有关,博尔索纳罗因涉嫌在2022年大选失利后策划政变而受审。然而,特朗普通过豁免民用飞机、能源、橙汁、生铁、贵金属、木浆和化肥等关键行业来减轻影响。在一项行政命令和随附的白宫情况说明书中,政府引用了涉及特朗普亲密盟友博索纳罗的正在进行的法律诉讼作为做出这一决定的原因。巴西财政部长罗杰里奥·塞隆表示:“我们没有面临最坏的情况。”他将结果描述为比预期“更温和”。
The 50% tariff on most Brazilian goods announced by U.S. President Donald Trump will take effect on August 6, delayed from the initially stated August 1 date. The move is tied to Brazil’s prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly plotting a coup following his 2022 election loss. However, Trump softened the impact by exempting key sectors, including civil aircraft, energy, orange juice, pig iron, precious metals, wood pulp, and fertilizers. In an executive order and accompanying White House factsheet, the administration cited the ongoing legal proceedings involving Bolsonaro, a close Trump ally, as the reason behind the decision. "We're not facing the worst-case scenario," said Brazilian Treasury Secretary Rogerio Ceron, describing the outcome as “more benign” than expected.
