    Don’t forget that Brazil is one of the few countries that the US has a positive trade imbalance with. The stated goal of the tariffs was always balancing trade, this is explicitly political strong-arming.

      Well, we need to use tariffs until they sell us more goods! Obviously we’re losing too many goods to them and not bringing enough in!
