Brazilian officials have intensified diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing tariff dispute with the United States, emphasizing the critical need to protect their agricultural and manufacturing sectors ahead of the looming deadline. The tariffs, imposed as part of a broader trade tension, threaten to disrupt key export channels that support millions of Brazilian jobs and contribute significantly to the country’s GDP. Brazilian trade representatives stressed that a rapid and fair resolution would not only restore market confidence but also solidify bilateral economic ties.

Key priorities in Brazil’s approach include:

  • Engaging in constructive dialogue with US trade authorities.
  • Highlighting the mutual economic benefits of tariff suspension.
  • Ensuring protection for small and medium-sized exporters vulnerable to sudden market shifts.
