- In July, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on hundreds of Brazilian exports, reaching up to 37.5% on some products; Lula rejects the accusation of unfair trade practices as politically motivated ahead of the October election.
- Earlier this month, the U.S. State Department revoked Brazil’s ambassador’s visa in Washington in retaliation for Brazil’s denial of visas to two U.S. diplomats the previous month.
- Brazil’s Foreign Ministry said late Thursday that it was requesting diplomatic consultations with U.S. counterparts, while the start of the proceedings does not necessarily mean retaliatory measures.
- Lula said Friday that the activation was intended to underscore Brazil’s demand for respect and stated that he did not want a conflict with the United States.
Yesterday, we invoked the reciprocity law to show that we are not to be taken lightly.— Lula da Silva said in an interview with Brazilian podcasters.

- The US will impose a 50% tariff on certain Brazilian goods starting in August, affecting about 36% of Brazil’s exports to the US.
- Only 12% of Brazil's exports go to the US, whereas China accounts for 28%, highlighting diversified trade partners.
- Exemptions for key products like aircraft, energy, and orange juice significantly mitigate the tariff’s economic effects.
- Regional disparities exist, with the Northeast facing greater challenges due to labor-intensive exports subject to full tariffs.
