    Still getting away with illegal tarrifs.

    The thin excuse of national security reasons is not even here in this context at all!

    In his letter, Trump said “unsustainable Trade Deficits against the United States” also contributed to his consideration of the high tariff rate. However, the United States has a good trade surplus with Brazil — more than $7 billion last year.

    What a clown. It will never happen but I would love to see Brazil slapping retaliatory tariffs on American imports like China did.

      A trade surplus? Would that not mean that Brazil has a trade deficit with the USA? Sounds like Brazil should follow the same advice and put tariffs on them.
