U.S. Senate passes bill to terminate Trump tariffs against Brazil
Why it matters
The U.S. Senate has passed a bill aimed at overturning tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump on Brazilian imports, with a narrow vote of 52-48. This decision comes amid rising prices for goods and services in the U.S., prompting lawmakers to act against what they describe as unjustified tariffs. Five Republican senators joined Democrats in supporting the measure, which now moves to the House of Representatives, where it is expected to face opposition. The tariffs were originally enacted in response to Brazil's legal actions against former President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been convicted of serious crimes. Critics argue that these tariffs have negatively affected American consumers by increasing costs on essential goods. The Senate's action reflects ongoing tensions regarding trade policy and its implications for U.S.-Brazil relations.
