Economist: Trump's 50% tariff on Brazil sets 'dangerous precedent'

Odaily Planet Daily News: Trump announced that he would impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods on August 1, sparking strong criticism from the economics community. Many experts pointed out that the United States has long maintained a trade surplus with Brazil, and the reason for this move is absurd, or it may be using the "Bolsonaro trial" to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Analysts are worried that Trump is turning tariffs into a multi-functional diplomatic tool, setting a precedent for interfering in the judiciary and digital sovereignty. (Jinshi)
