Tariff Increase: Brazil and China are the Most Benefited from Trump's New Global Rate, Study Says
A new study indicates that Brazil and China are the primary beneficiaries of President Trump's recently announced global tariff changes.
A recent evaluation by Global Trade Alert highlights that Brazil and China stand to gain the most from the new tariff rates implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump. The report notes that Brazil will see an average tariff reduction of 13.6 percentage points, placing it at the top of the list. Following Brazil, China is also expected to benefit significantly, with a 7.1 percentage point decrease in its tariffs, while India follows with a 5.6 percentage point reduction.
The analysis comes in the wake of Trump's announcement regarding a new global tariff rate which initially started at 10% but was escalated to 15% within a day. This tariff increase is a response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision which overturned a previous tariff structure. The new rates, set to take effect on Tuesday, are significant as they represent a notable policy shift in international trade and are indicative of the Trump administration's approach to engaging with global markets amidst ongoing trade tensions.
As these tariffs come into play, they are likely to have far-reaching implications not only for Brazil and China but for the entire global economy. The report published by Global Trade Alert has raised concerns about the broader ramifications of these tariff changes and how they might affect international trade dynamics, particularly during an already tumultuous time for global supply chains and trade relationships.
