Former President Donald Trump is pursuing new strategies to implement tariffs on imports, particularly targeting Brazil with a 25% duty. This follows a Supreme Court decision that limited his previous methods of imposing such taxes. The current approach involves investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which concluded Brazil engaged in unfair trade practices. This method has been used previously, notably against China, and is seen as a more durable workaround despite potential legal challenges. AI
