Trump hits Brazil with tariffs, sanctions but key sectors excluded

President Trump imposed a 50% tariff on many Brazilian goods, citing a "witch hunt" against Jair Bolsonaro and sanctioning a Brazilian supreme court justice. Key sectors like aircraft and energy are exempt, easing concerns in Brasilia. Lula's government condemned the move, hinting at possible retaliation, while Brazilian diplomats seek negotiations to mitigate the impact on exports like beef and coffee.
