Protests Break Out in Brazil Over US Tariff Decision

Widespread protests were reported across major Brazilian cities after the United States announced a 50 percent tariff on exports from Brazil. The decision, issued under the administration of US President Donald Trump, has sparked public outrage in cities such as Brasília, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro.

Demonstrators gathered outside the US consulate, expressing strong opposition to the tariff move. Visuals from the protest sites showed symbolic displays, including the burning of effigies and flags, as a form of dissent.

Brazilian officials have yet to issue a formal response, but analysts suggest the tariff could significantly impact trade relations between the two countries. The situation continues to develop as discussions around global trade tensions intensify
