Economists: Trump's 50% tariff on Brazil sets a "dangerous precedent"

According to Mars Finance, Trump announced on August 1 that he would impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, which has sparked strong criticism from the academic community. Several experts pointed out that the U.S. has long maintained a trade surplus with Brazil, and this move is absurd, possibly using the "Bolsonaro trial" to intervene in domestic politics. Analysts are concerned that Trump is turning tariffs into a multifunctional diplomatic tool, setting a precedent for interfering in judiciary and digital sovereignty. (Jin10)
