President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 50 percent tariff on Brazil, following his growing frustration with the BRICS nations’ recent meeting in Rio de Janeiro. The move comes as part of a larger effort to challenge the growing influence of the economic alliance.
According to Politico, the threat was delivered through a strongly worded letter to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, which included criticism about Brazil’s treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro and claims about social media censorship.
