Trump revives tariff policy with new import taxes on Canadian, Brazilian goods

President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on most Brazilian goods take effect Wednesday, part of what's shaping up to be a redo of the president's trade policy following a setback at the Supreme Court earlier this year. The tariffs on Brazilian goods followed unsuccessful negotiations and a year-long investigation into what the Trump administration called "unreasonable acts, policies, and practices have undercut the competitiveness of American farmers, workers, innovators, and businesses." "Whether it is punishing U.S. technology companies for refusing to censor political speech, backsliding on anti-corruption enforcement, or allowing Brazilian farmers to exploit illegally logged land to gain an advantage over American farmers, Brazil’s unfair trading practices have prevented U.S. workers and producers from accessing this important market with over 210 million consumers," said U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. #montana #montanamoment #nbcmontana #mtwx #news #nationalnews #national #politics #politicalnews #usa #canada #tariffs #tariff #tariffinflation #rising #escalation #canadian #trump #donaldtrump #president #presidenttrump FULL STORY: https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-wo...
