Trump’s 50% sanctions on Brazil are aimed at regime change in a BRICS nation, not trade issues: the U.S. had a $7.4 billion trade surplus with Brazil in 2024.

U.S. trade surplus with Brazil by year:

- 2023: $5.6 billion

- 2022: $2 billion

- 2021: $8.6 billion

- 2020: $11 billion

- 2019: $12 billion

- 2018: $8.3 billion

What a sick joke.
