Did Trump raise tariffs? Will Brazil foot the bill?

Brazil has a GDP of R$11.7 trillion, yet remains one of the most closed economies in the world. Our trade-to-GDP ratio is just 36% — lower than Uganda, Venezuela, Madagascar, and even Cuba, despite the embargo. World Bank

We export $33 billion annually to the United States, what represents only 2% of Brazilian GDP.

Still, $33 billion is a significant volume for business and employees. If the new tariffs remain in place, this number is expected to drop sharply, hitting several industries, causing job losses, and pushing Brazil further away from the U.S. Atlas
