President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports, targeting key products like coffee and orange juice.
The move has triggered lawsuits from U.S. importers, warnings of sharp price hikes for American consumers, and fears of economic devastation among Brazilian farmers and miners. Brazil's government, led by President Lula, says its attempts to negotiate have been ignored by the U.S., and is now considering retaliatory measures.
