Trump launches an investigation into “unspeakable” commercial practices for Brazil

The Trump administration says it has launched an investigation into the “unfair” commercial practices of Brazil.

The Brazilian government’s policies will include “digital trade and electronic payment services; unfair preferential definitions; anti -corruption intervention”, a statement from American trade representative He said.

The investigation seeks to determine whether it is “unreasonable, discriminatory, burden or restriction of American trade.”

Last week, US President Donald Trump urged the Brazilian authorities to end their prosecution to former President Gere Bolsonaro, accusing them of carrying out a “charming chase.”

The American commercial actor, Jameson Jarir, said that the investigation was launched in the direction of Trump “in Brazil’s attacks on American social media companies as well as other unfair commercial practices that harm American companies, workers, farmers and technological innovators.”

“I have decided that the Brazilian tariff and the uncontrolled barriers deserve a comprehensive investigation, and perhaps a response,” he said.

Jarir was accused of Brazil of formulating American exports by providing a less tariff for other commercial partners.

Investigators will discuss alleged attempts by Brazil to punish American companies participating in digital trade and services for not controlling political speech.

The office also claimed that there is no suitable enforcement of intellectual property rights, which harms American workers “whose ways of living are related to sectors that depend on innovation and creativity in America.”

Trump was martyred first by investigation In a letter to the President of Brazil, Luiz Insio Lula da Silva, last week.

In the same message, the US President announced a 50 % tariff in Brazil from August 1. Lula said in response to the fact that Brazil would match any increase in the definitions.

Last year, the value of trade between the two countries amounted to 90 billion dollars.

Washington reported a trade surplus with Brazil at $ 7.4 billion in 2024, an increase of 33 % in the previous year.
