特朗普惹事了！巴西对美打出3连击，中方送上两颗定心丸成关键

Core Points - The article discusses the escalating trade tensions between the United States and Brazil, particularly following President Trump's announcement of a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, which has been met with strong resistance from Brazilian President Lula [1][2][4]. Trade Policy Impact - The U.S. plans to impose high tariffs on goods from Brazil and 14 other countries starting August 1, 2025, significantly affecting Brazil's economy, especially its major exports like coffee, beef, and orange juice [4][6]. - Brazil's response includes legal measures to counteract the U.S. tariffs, indicating a readiness for a trade conflict [6][13]. Political Context - Trump's tariff decision appears to be politically motivated rather than economically justified, as the trade balance shows a surplus of $6.8 billion for the U.S. from Brazil [9][11]. - The tariffs are seen as a reaction to Brazil's shift in foreign policy under Lula, moving closer to China and away from U.S. influence [11][12]. Brazil's Economic Alliances - Brazil's economic ties with China are strengthening, with bilateral trade reaching $188.17 billion in 2024, compared to $72.2 billion with the U.S. [15]. - Brazil is diversifying its economic partnerships, reducing reliance on the U.S. market, and exploring new opportunities through cooperation with China [17][19]. Conclusion - The trade conflict highlights Brazil's determination to defend its economic interests and sovereignty against U.S. unilateralism, with China's role as a significant ally in this context [19].
