# US president Donald Trump says his administration will impose a 50-percent tariff on all imports from Brazil. He has accused Brazil of attacks on US tech companies and of conducting a witch hunt against former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro. He is facing trial over accusations he plotted a coup after his narrow 2022 election loss. In response, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has vowed to reciprocate if Trump follows through with his threat and warned against any interference in his country’s judicial system.
