US extends Brazil national emergency, keeping tariffs on imports
The White House extended the national emergency targeting Brazil on July 28, keeping it in force until at least July 30, 2027. The move means tariffs on Brazilian imports remain in place, prolonging a trade dispute between the two countries.
The national emergency targeting Brazil, originally declared by President Donald Trump on July 30, 2025 under Executive Order 14323, has been extended by another year. The extension keeps the order in force until at least July 30, 2027.
The White House cited concerns over censorship by the Brazilian government as its justification for the renewal. The decision means tariffs on Brazilian imports remain unchanged, signaling the trade dispute between the two countries is unlikely to be resolved soon.
Brazilian exporters and industry groups have voiced frustration over the continued tariffs, and how Brazil's government will respond remains an open question. The extension underscores that tensions between the two countries extend beyond trade into political territory.
