Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira speaks during a press statement on new tariffs imposed by the United States on trade with Brazil at the Itamaraty Palace in Brasilia on July 16, 2026. An incoming US tariff targeting various imports from Brazil has drawn a rebuke from the Latin American giant, as Washington accused the country of unfair trade practices and policies. The levy, announced on July 15, is set to take effect July 22 and is shaping up as a major campaign flashpoint three months before Brazil holds a presidential election.
