“Trump threatens Brazil with massive 50% tariff, citing "Witch Hunt" against ex-president Bolsonaro”

“President Trump said Wednesday he would impose a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil next month, one of the steepest rates for any U.S. trading partner, citing the criminal prosecution of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, which Mr. Trump called an "international disgrace."

“Unlike many other countries that have been threatened with tariff hikes, the U.S. runs a trade surplus with Brazil, meaning Brazil buys more American goods than the U.S. buys from Brazil. And he alleged Brazil has an "unfair trade relationship" with the U.S., citing "Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers."

Richard Wolff also on DW says that Lula gave a recent speech where he said that the problem is not globalization, it is rather Imperial Empire misbehaviour.

That explains a lot.
