Jan 5, 2026. After the Invasion of Venezuela by the Trump Administration, Brazil lined up as one of the Latin American countries that condemned the attack (here). It was also one of the Latin American countries hit hard by Trump Tariffs.
Coffee is a good example (graphic above from Trading Economics). In 2025, Trump imposed tariffs on Brazilian coffee and prices in the super market begin to rise and Trump's approval ratings begin to decline. One November 20, 2025, Reuters reports (here) that Trump lifted the tariffs. Trump had been arguing that even though tariffs were taxes, they would be paid by the importers. That turned out not to be true (something Trump could have learned in ECON 101).
