美国对部分巴西商品加征25%关税

Odaily News: The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) stated on the 15th local time that, following the directive of U.S. President Donald Trump, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer took final action under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, imposing a 25% tariff on certain Brazilian goods. The decision stems from a year-long investigation by the USTR. The investigation determined that certain measures adopted by Brazil in areas such as digital trade and electronic payment services, unfair preferential tariffs, anti-corruption enforcement interventions, intellectual property protection, ethanol market access, and illegal deforestation constitute "unreasonable practices," placing burdens or restrictions on the business activities of American farmers, workers, innovative enterprises, and exporters.

Greer stated: "Although the U.S. has conducted extensive negotiations with Brazil over the past year, these issues remain unresolved. The U.S. remains willing to continue negotiations with Brazil to promote the resolution of these long-standing issues identified in the investigation." The U.S. will exempt Brazilian beef and coffee from the 25% new tariff imposed on Brazilian goods. (Jin Shi)
