President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports, targeting key commodities like coffee and orange juice. The move has sparked alarm among U.S. businesses and consumers, who fear significant price hikes on everyday staples. Brazilian officials, including President Lula and Vice President Alckmin, have criticized the tariffs and reported failed attempts to negotiate with the U.S. Meanwhile, American importers and producers are filing lawsuits, warning that the tariffs could raise retail prices by up to 25% and devastate small farmers in both countries. The escalating trade conflict threatens to disrupt global supply chains and deepen political tensions between the U.S. and Brazil.
