Trump’s 50% tariff on Brazilian products reaches 1 month

The businesswoman Daniele Alkmin recalls feeling “desperate” on July 9th when US President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian products. The tariff has been in effect for a month now, and g1 gathers stories of how small producers have been affected. Daniele fought for ten years to win customers in the US, which now represent 30% of her annual revenue. She had contracts to send two containers with 640 bags of coffee but had to cancel due to the tariff. The emotional toll on Daniele is significant, as her efforts to strengthen bonds with already acquired customers seem in vain.
