Today, listeners, we're focusing on significant developments in the tariff landscape between the United States and Brazil. US President Donald Trump recently met with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on the sidelines of the 47th ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This meeting comes after Trump increased tariffs on most Brazilian goods from 10% to 50% in early August, citing a "witch hunt" against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of plotting a coup.

Trump expressed optimism about reaching deals with Brazil, stating that he thinks both countries can make "pretty good deals." Lula similarly emphasized that there's no reason for conflict between the two nations. The leaders agreed that their teams would meet immediately to find solutions to the tariffs and sanctions placed on Brazilian officials.

Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira noted that negotiations would start promptly to address these issues and requested tariffs be suspended during the talks. However, it remains unclear if the US has agreed to this request. The higher tariffs have significantly impacted the global beef trade, pushing up prices in the US and causing Brazil to redirect exports, notably to China.

The tensions between the US and Brazil have been elevated since the tariffs were imposed, linked to Trump's support for Bolsonaro. Despite these challenges, both leaders seem committed to finding a resolution. The ongoing negotiations are crucial for the trade relationship between the two countries, with potential impacts on various sectors, including agriculture and manufacturing.

As we continue to monitor these developments, it's essential to stay informed about how these discussions unfold. We'll keep you updated on any changes in tariffs and their effects on trade between the US and Brazil.
