Brazil requests WTO consultations over US tariffs

SAO PAULO, July 27 (Reuters) - Brazil has requested consultations with the U.S. under the World Trade Organization's dispute settlement system over tariffs announced by the Trump administration this month, the Brazilian Foreign Relations Ministry said in a statement on Monday.

The request is related to tariffs of 25% imposed by the U.S. on imports of some Brazilian goods for alleged unfair trade practices, and other tariffs on goods from dozens of nations, including Brazil, due to forced labor allegations.
