Carlos Frederico Coelho, a researcher at BPC/PUC-Rio and professor at IRI/PUC-Rio, gave an interview to the newspaper O Globo: “New tariffs show that Trump’s tariff hike was not an isolated episode.”

According to him, the new tariffs announced by China and Mexico indicate that the tariff hike imposed by Donald Trump’s government is not an isolated episode, but part of a structural transformation of the international system. Furthermore, he emphasizes the challenges for middle-income countries like Brazil, which will need to advance in diversifying its trading partners in a more fragmented and volatile global scenario.
