Trump Sets 25% Tariff On Brazil Over Six Bundled Complaints

The Brazil tariff order invokes Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, signed July 15, 2026.

  • Six issues folded into one file: digital trade, payments, tariffs, IP, ethanol, deforestation.
  • Filed as 91 FR 45619, document number 2026-14654, published July 20.
  • Executive Office of the President issued it as a memorandum, not new legislation.

Why it matters: A trade law that punishes a nation's courts and its forests is not settling a trade dispute.
