The story so far as of 25 September 2026

On September 21, 2026, Brazil's government, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, announced plans to question the US about tariffs imposed during the Trump administration at a WTO meeting on September 25. The tariffs, reaching up to 37.5% for some sectors, are a significant issue for Brazilian exporters. On September 25, representatives from Brazil and the US met at the WTO in Geneva to discuss these tariffs. The meeting involved both Presidents Lula da Silva and Trump, but expectations for a resolution were low as discussions remained in the technical phase.
