Description
Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin emphasizes the urgency of starting negotiations amid the escalating trade dispute with the United States, hoping to reach an agreement "in the coming days."
Speaking after a meeting with representatives of the Brazilian business sector, Alckmin says the government had "submitted a set of proposals" to US officials but "received no response," referring to a letter sent by Brasilia to Washington.
In the letter, Brazil expressed "indignation" over a proposed 50% US tariff on Brazilian exports, while reaffirming its commitment to dialogue.
The United States said it was investigating Brazil's "unfair trading practices" in a further escalation after President Donald Trump announced the tariff as punishment for what he said was a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally, ex-president Jair Bolsonaro. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
