Brazil launches WTO case over Trump’s tariffs
Tweet
Brazil has taken its first step in challenging President Donald Trump’s 50 percent tariffs, filing a complaint at the World Trade Organization after the duties took effect Wednesday.
“The United States is blatantly violating core commitments undertaken within the WTO framework,” the Brazilian government said in a note, accusing the U.S. of breaching the most-favored-nation principle, which encourages trading partners to treat each other fairly.
The countries remain at loggerheads over a wide range of disputes. The Trump administration frames its tariffs as a means of punishing Brazil for its perceived mistreatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro, and its alleged social media censorship. Unlike other countries slapped with high tariff rates, the U.S. has not run a trade deficit with Brazil since 2007.
