About 2,000 products exported by Brazil to the ​United States will be exempt ‌from the new tariffs announced by the Donald Trump administration in recent ​days, including coffee and ​orange juice, Brazil’s Trade and Industry ⁠Minister Marcio Elias Rosa ​said on Thursday (23).

Brazil was among the ​countries targeted on Thursday with a 12.5% tariff on its exports to the U.S., ​in a move related ​to forced labor.

Last week, the Trump administration had ‌already ⁠announced a 25% tariff on several Brazilian products, citing unfair trade practices by the South American ​country.

Sectors such ​as ⁠footwear, and machinery and equipment will be subject ​to both tariffs, while ​others ⁠including pulp will be levied only at 12.5%, Rosa told journalists ⁠in ​Brasilia.
