Brazil-US Trade War Heats Up: Retaliation Looms as Tensions Spike
Trade relations between Brazil and the US are on a knife's edge—and both sides are sharpening their blades.
Tariffs as weapons: What started as a squabble over agricultural exports has escalated into a full-blown economic standoff. Neither side shows signs of backing down.
The retaliation game: Expect a volley of import restrictions, export bans, and good old-fashioned bureaucratic obstruction. Because nothing stimulates economies like cutting off your nose to spite your trading partner's face.
Wall Street shrugs: Meanwhile, hedge funds are already pricing in the volatility—placing bets on soybeans, aircraft parts, and whichever commodity will make bankers rich off someone else's trade misery.
