Brazil opens reciprocity process over U.S. tariffs
BRASILIA, Aug. 13 (Reuters) - The Brazilian government has opened a process that could result in the adoption of reciprocal measures against the U.S. in response to tariffs recently imposed by Washington on the country's goods, it said in a Thursday statement.
The U.S. government announced tariffs of 25% last month on some Brazilian goods, alleging unfair trade practices, as well as 12.5% tariffs on goods from dozens of nations, including Brazil, linked to allegations of lax enforcement of forced labor bans.
