The Decision of the Brazilian Government Seeks to Preserve Diplomatic Dialogue With the United States, While Camex Extends Deadline to Assess Possible Trade Retaliation

The federal government decided to postpone the application of the Economic Reciprocity Law against the United States, amid signs of diplomatic rapprochement between the two countries.

The measure came after statements from Donald Trump about a possible direct dialogue with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), which led Brazilian authorities to act cautiously to avoid compromising the reopening of bilateral talks.

Meetings and Diplomatic Caution

The Executive Committee of the Foreign Trade Chamber (Gecex) had up to 30 days to prepare a report and define Brazil’s retaliation strategy.

The main decision was to extend the deadline for the submission of the report assessing the application of the Reciprocity Law against the United States for another 30 days, in response to the 50% tariff imposed by the Trump administration on Brazilian products.

Last week, the committee met to discuss the issue, but the vote on the application of the law against the U.S. did not progress. A new Camex meeting may occur later this week.

Government and diplomatic sources state that the postponement was due to behind-the-scenes negotiations, aimed at not creating obstacles to the rapprochement between Lula and Trump.

Furthermore, Gecex members believe that any reciprocity could lead to new U.S. sanctions, increasing risks to trade between the countries.

Impact of Trump’s Statements

The postponement gained traction after Trump’s remarks at the U.N. General Assembly.

The U.S. president reported having a brief interaction with Lula and noted that both agreed to talk this week.

Diplomats emphasize that, given the possibility of a meeting, Brazil should exercise heightened caution in any measures that could jeopardize this dialogue channel.

In this context, the application of the Reciprocity Law, which would imply trade retaliation, became an even more sensitive topic.

The Brazilian government prefers to wait for the developments of the rapprochement before proceeding with decisions that could compromise relations with Washington.
