The US has imposed a 25% tariff on Brazilian energy equipment, effective July 22, prompting Brazilian President Lula to demand justification. In response, Brazil has implemented its own 25% tariff on 2,375 items, impacting $7.2 billion in trade. This bilateral trade escalation occurs amidst broader market volatility, including significant tech sector sell-offs and threats of US tariffs against Canada over wildfire smoke.
