Brazilian exporters hit by the tariff hike imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump have submitted proposals for the federal government\u2019s emergency support package, with the expectation that the aid will remain in place at least through much of next year. Companies involved said the contingency plan should last a minimum of six months, with the possibility of a six-month extension, and may include financing lines from the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While ministries leading negotiations with the U.S. have not committed to a specific duration, companies were told that support measures could be rolled out in phases\u2014short, medium, and long term\u2014allowing for an assessment of their impact. Two sources said that although many of the suggestions resemble elements of the COVID-19 relief plan from Jair Bolsonaro administration, the current government insists the initiative is different.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t want comparisons between the two, and argue that these are different measures for different times. But part of our proposals is based on that previous plan simply because it was tested and worked. Let\u2019s say it\u2019s a \u2018mini menu\u2019 from the pandemic playbook. And there\u2019s no political element on our side,\u201d said one industry executive involved in the talks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Executives also said\u00a0the 694 product exemptions announced by the U.S. on Wednesday<\/a>\u00a0(30) will not alter the framework already designed by the Finance and Development ministries. \u201cThat was the response we received when we raised the issue with government officials,\u201d said one source.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The proposals aim to minimize reliance on direct funding from the federal budget, given Brazil\u2019s tight fiscal situation, and to prioritize support for companies in the most critical condition, a criterion that industry groups admit leaves room for interpretation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
