Brazil has initiated a World Trade Organization (WTO) consultation to challenge U.S. tariffs imposed by Donald Trump's executive orders on April 2 and July 30, 2025. These tariffs, which went into effect recently, are the highest ever imposed by the U.S. government and could reach up to 50 percent on certain Brazilian products.

• Approximately 35.9 percent of Brazil's exports to the United States will be affected by the new tariffs.
• The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs activated the WTO's dispute settlement process.
• The tariffs include heavy taxes on products such as meat and coffee, while exempting others like orange juice and petroleum.
