Brazil and the United States have set an in-person meeting to continue negotiations over tariffs imposed on Brazilian goods. According to O Globo, the talks will take place from September 30 to October 1 in the United States, alongside a preparatory G20 meeting.
The meeting will bring together Brazil’s Minister of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, Márcio Elias Rosa, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira will also take part.
O Globo reported that this will be the first face-to-face meeting between the two countries since negotiations over the tariff package resumed. After an August videoconference, Rosa said the Brazilian government’s technical teams and the USTR had remained in regular contact and continued exchanging documents.
The Brazilian outlet added that the broad surcharge on Brazilian products followed a formal process by the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The U.S. government accused Brazil of unfair trade and regulatory practices, and Brazilian exports then became subject to different tariff bands, including 25%, 50% in specific sectors, and a list of products left out of the 25% rate.
