AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoU.S.-Brazil Trade War: The Trump administration announced a new 25% tariff on Brazilian imports starting July 22, after a year-long Section 301 probe into what Washington calls unfair trade practices. Exemptions include key items like coffee, beef, oranges/orange juice, some energy products, and certain aerospace parts. Brazil’s response: Lula’s office condemned the move as a “regrettable milestone” and promised reciprocal measures and a WTO challenge. Election pressure: Reuters reports the tariff is already feeding into Brazil’s October presidential race, with candidates trading blame over whether negotiations were handled in “good faith.” Public health: Separately, a systematic review from Sapienza University of Rome found multiple pesticide residues in infant formula, with contamination reported in most studies reviewed, raising concerns for short- and long-term infant health. HIV supply update: Fiocruz completed the tech transfer to produce dolutegravir locally for Brazil’s SUS, pending Anvisa approval.
