国务卿马可·卢比奥宣布，美国贸易代表办公室（USTR）将对大多数巴西进口商品征收25%的关税，理由是巴西政府在谈判中缺乏“诚意”。美国贸易代表办公室表示，此举是在针对阻碍美国商业的不公平贸易和监管行为进行了为期一年的“301条款”调查后采取的行动。虽然关税适用范围广泛，但预计咖啡、牛肉和部分乙醇产品将获得豁免。美国政府将此举定性为特朗普总统保护美国经济利益的“美国优先”战略的一部分。除贸易外，此举也反映了更广泛的地缘政治转变。特朗普政府正积极重塑拉丁美洲政治，旨在推动该地区脱离亲近中国的社会主义政府，转向右翼、支持资本主义的政府。随着巴西10月总统大选临近，现任总统卢拉预计将面临右翼参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗的挑战，此项贸易施压意在削弱现任总统的地位，同时推进符合美国利益的地区战略。

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed on X late Wednesday night that the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is set to impose a 25% tariff on "most Brazilian imports."

"Let there be no confusion about why: President Lula and his government have not negotiated with the US in good faith," Rubio said.

He added, "His economic policies are bad for Americans and bad for Brazilians. For the past year, Lula has put his own ego ahead of making a deal for the welfare of the Brazilian people, and these tariffs are the price for that."

USTR released a statement saying the 25% tariffs on certain Brazilian goods come after a yearlong Section 301 investigation that found trade and regulatory practices in the South American country unfairly restricted US commerce.

"Safeguarding American economic interests against unfair trade practices is the bedrock of President Trump's America First policies," Trade Representative Jamieson Greer wrote in a statement.

Greer commented on Bloomberg TV:

Bloomberg cited a senior administration official who said imports of coffee, beef and certain ethanol products would be exempt from the new duties.

Honing in on Rubio's X post, which said Lula's “economic policies are bad for Americans and bad for Brazilians," the bigger issue here is that Lula is an unhinged socialist.

The Trump team, along with folks adjacent to the administration, has been working to reshape Latin America's political landscape by shifting the region away from socialist governments sympathetic to China and toward right-wing, capitalist governments more aligned with the US. The effort is part of a broader Western Hemisphere defense strategy.

Following the stunning Colombian presidential race, in which Trump-backed Abelardo de la Espriella won the election, the next major race to watch will be Brazil's. Lula is expected to face right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to October's presidential election.
