Trump issued more tariffs blah blah blah TACO, I'm bored now. But what is different about this one in particular is now he is issuing tariffs based not only on his bullshit made up AI generated formula but because he is mad about a country being mean to his friend, Lol.

We are in new territory with Trump’s latest trade letter, threatening a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil starting Aug. 1
—The US runs a rare trade surplus with Brazil, so there’s no deficit to fix
—Trump says these duties are explicitly over political concerns, not economic ones

We're at the stage of America trying to interfere in other countries politics via tariffs.

Trying to protect his friends from legal trial via tariffs.

Yep. Trying to intimidate them into not prosecuting that fascist asshole. I’m surprised that Bozonaro the Clown isn’t living it up at Mar-a-Lago.
