Trump launches probe into Brazil’s ‘unfair’ commerce practices | EUROtoday

The Trump administration says it has launched an investigation into Brazil’s “unfair” buying and selling practices.

It will embrace the Brazilian authorities’s insurance policies “related to digital trade and electronic payment services; unfair, preferential tariffs; anti-corruption interference”, an announcement from the US Trade Representative stated.

The investigation search to find out whether or not they’re “unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict US commerce.”

Last week, US President Donald Trump urged Brazilian authorities to finish their prosecution of the nation’s former President Jair Bolsonaro, accusing them of finishing up a “WITCH HUNT”.

Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer stated that the probe was being launched at Trump’s course “into Brazil’s attacks on American social media companies as well as other unfair trading practices that harm American companies, workers, farmers, and technology innovators”.
