Washington, 10/7: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the US would impose a 50 per cent tariff on all imports from Brazil after a public spat this week with his Brazilian counterpart who called him an unwanted “emperor.”
In a letter, Trump linked the tariffs to Brazil’s treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro who is on trial over charges of plotting a coup. The levies were imposed due “in part to Brazil’s insidious attacks on Free Elections”
