Confederation also recalled that Brazil and the United States have 200 years of trade relations and have always been on the same side ‘
The Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil () criticized the decision of imposing an additional 50% tariff on Brazilian products. In a statement released on Friday (11), the entity classified the measure as unilateral and unjustified, considering the history of cooperation between the two countries. “This unilateral measure is not justified by the history of business relations between the two countries, which have always developed in a climate of cooperation and balance, in strict compliance with the best principles of free trade,” the entity said in a statement.
CNA estimates that the measure impairs the economies of both countries with damage to companies and consumers. “Any analysis of relations between the United States and Brazil, whether in the field in commerce or investments, will always have to conclude that these relationships have always served the interests of the two countries, and there is no unfair or undesirable imbalance in them,” said the entity. CNA also recalled that Brazil and the United States have 200 years of relationships and have always been on the same side. “There is no reason for this situation to change,” defends the CNA.
The Confederation also stated that Brazilian rural producers consider that these issues can be resolved only for common benefit. “Through incessant dialogue and without conditions between governments and their private sectors. Economy and commerce cannot be unfairly affected by political reasons,” the CNA argued.
Finally, the entity said it expects diplomatic channels to be “intensely triggered.” “So that reason and pragmatism impose themselves for the benefit of all, for this is the only way that serves the understanding and prosperity,” said the confederation.
