Brazil has registered a request for consultations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) to challenge the 50% tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazilian products. US President Donald Trump's decision was motivated by a perceived 'witch hunt' against former Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro. Although Brazil has announced its intention to file a formal complaint, the WTO system has been blocked since Trump's first term. The Brazilian government hopes negotiations will lead to a favorable solution.
