Trump Escalated His Feud With Brazil

President Trump sharply increased tariffs on Brazilian imports, imposing a 50 percent tax and introducing sanctions against a Brazilian Supreme Court justice involved in the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. These actions mark a significant escalation in tensions between the United States and Brazil, with Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, criticizing Trump's approach and rejecting subservience. In related trade moves, Trump announced new tariffs on Indian imports and Russian oil, and ended a key duty exemption for low-value goods. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris confirmed she will not run for California governor, and Canada stated it would recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel agrees to a cease-fire in Gaza. Other notable news includes a major earthquake near Russia, developments in U.S. monetary policy, and the launch of an artificial intelligence-powered app at the Palace of Versailles.
