The United States is one of Brazil’s main trading partners. The bilateral relationship is marked by a persistent deficit in goods and services. In the investment sphere, the U.S. is the second-largest destination for profit and dividend remittances from Brazil and remains the leading source of inward foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly in the industrial, financial, IT, and commercial sectors.
On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed an additional 40% tariff on Brazilian exports, on top of the 10% applied in April 2025 — totaling a 50% surcharge. In response, Brazil launched the Sovereign Plan, designed to mitigate the economic impacts of the tariffs and strengthen the country’s resilience through targeted fiscal, industrial, and trade measures.
