To illustrate the imbalance, the U.S. report compares its bound tariff rate of 3.4%\u2014with an applied rate of 3.3% in 2023\u2014to those of other nations. Brazil\u2019s bound tariff was 31.4%, with an applied rate of 11.2%, while India\u2019s stood at 50.6% and 17%, respectively. A bound tariff is the maximum rate a country can impose under WTO agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoing forward, the United States will take action to create the leverage needed to rebalance our trading relations and to re-shore production, including, but not limited to, through the use of tariffs,\u201d said Jamieson Greer, the newly appointed U.S. Trade Representative. \u201cThis will raise wages and promote a strong national defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cThe current moment demands action to put America First on trade, and the Trade Agenda explains the importance of President Trump&#8217;s trade policy to American workers and businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trump administration claims much of the country\u2019s industrial power has shifted overseas, stalling innovation. It points to a decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs from 17 million in 1993 to 12 million in 2016, the closure of over 100,000 factories between 1997 and 2016, and a trade deficit in goods exceeding $1 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Mr. Trump\u2019s team, the culprit is clear: \u201cThese trends are the product of a withering, decades-long assault by globalist elites who have pursued policies\u2014including trade policies\u2014with the aim of enriching themselves at the expense of the working people of the United States. As a result, the middle class has atrophied, and our national security is at the mercy of fragile international supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USTR asserts that only Mr. Trump has recognized the role trade policy has played in this situation and how it can be corrected\u2014specifically through tariffs as a \u201clegitimate tool of public policy\u201d to counter foreign products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe has demonstrated the imperative for tough trade enforcement against countries who think they can take advantage of the United States and get away with it,\u201d the document said. \u201cHe has shown that the United States has leverage and can negotiate aggressively to open markets for Made in America exports, particularly for agricultural exports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USTR also said it would identify opportunities for trade agreements that could expand market access for U.S. exports \u201cand reorient the trading system to promote U.S. competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major focus remains China, described as \u201cthe single biggest source of our country\u2019s large and persistent trade deficit and a unique economic challenge.\u201d The report makes clear that pressure on Beijing will continue to intensify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. is still a superpower,\u201d the Trump administration asserted, adding that \u201cfrom this moment on, America\u2019s decline is over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration is also reviewing the impact of WTO agreements on U.S. interests, as well as the costs, benefits, and overall value of continued participation in the organization. It criticizes what it calls the WTO\u2019s \u201cpersistent systemic failures\u201d and the \u201cintransigence of certain WTO members\u201d that have prevented the U.S. from fully benefiting from the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Targeting China, the report claims the WTO has been ineffective in addressing non-market policies and practices, enforcing agreed rules, implementing reforms, or fostering meaningful negotiations\u2014without acknowledging the U.S.\u2019s own role in these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trump administration signals that its patience is wearing thin, warning that the political, economic, and trade landscape in 2025 is vastly different from previous years. It insists the U.S. will continue pursuing \u201cnew paths\u201d in global trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Trump\u2019s unilateralism and intimidation tactics remain as forceful as ever, leaving trade partners with a stark choice: comply with U.S. demands or face retaliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*By\u00a0Assis Moreira\u00a0\u2014 Geneva<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Valor International<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/valorinternational.globo.com\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. cites Brazil as an example of trade imbalances 03\/05\/2025 The Donald Trump administration has once again raised concerns over high import tariffs in Brazil, even as it implements new tariffs of 25% on products from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods, further disrupting the global economy.
