After determining that Brazil, the world's tenth-largest economy, had engaged in a series of unfair trade practices, the United States decided to impose a 25 percent tariff on its imported goods.
美國在認定全球第十大經濟體巴西涉及一系列不公平貿易行為後，決定對其進口商品課徵百分之二十五的關稅。
This tariff was initially proposed last month and is scheduled to take effect on July 22.
這項關稅最初於上個月提出，並預定於7月22日正式生效。
This order exempts certain goods that the United States does not produce domestically, or that officials fear could disrupt the supply chain.
此項命令豁免了部分美國未自行生產，或官員擔憂可能擾亂供應鏈的商品。
The exemptions cover coffee, beef, oranges and orange juice, certain petroleum and natural gas energy products, as well as aerospace parts and components.
豁免項目涵蓋咖啡、牛肉、柳橙與柳橙汁、部分石油與天然氣能源產品，以及航空航太零件與組件。
After a year-long investigation, the Office of the United States Trade Representative determined that Brazil engages in a series of unfair trade practices, including lax enforcement of anti-corruption measures, the imposition of its own unfair tariffs, and other measures deemed unreasonable and inequitable.
美國貿易代表署經過長達一年的調查後，認定巴西存在一系列不公平貿易行為，包括反貪腐執法鬆散、自身課徵不公平關稅，以及其他被視為不合理且不公平的做法。
Nevertheless, the United States has maintained a merchandise trade surplus with Brazil for many years.
然而，美國多年來對巴西一直維持商品貿易順差。
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated in a declaration that this measure is a necessary step to ensure American workers and businesses can compete on a level playing field.
美國貿易代表傑米森·格里爾在聲明中指出，此舉是確保美國勞工與企業能在公平競爭環境下競爭的必要措施。
"Extensive negotiations with Brazil over the past year have failed to resolve these issues, yet we remain willing to continue talks with Brazil to bring about the long-term necessary reforms for the problems identified by this investigation."
「過去一年與巴西的廣泛談判未能解決這些問題，但我們仍願意繼續與巴西談判，以促成這項調查所發現問題的長期必要改革。」
He said.
他說。
After US officials announced in early June that they would propose imposing tariffs, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva responded indignantly, instead pointing the finger at political motives and accusing his October election opponent, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
在美國官員六月初預告將提議課徵關稅後，巴西總統路易斯·伊納西奧·盧拉·達席爾瓦憤慨回應，反而將矛頭指向政治動機，指責其十月選舉中的對手、參議員弗拉維奧·博索納羅。
Bolsonaro recently visited Washington; he is the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is an ally of President Donald Trump.
博索納羅近期訪問華盛頓，他是前總統雅伊爾·博索納羅之子，而後者正是總統唐納·川普的盟友。
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a statement on tariffs posted on platform X, remarked: "Do not misinterpret the reasons behind this: President Lula and his administration have failed to engage in sincere negotiations with the United States.
國務卿馬可·魯比奧在X平台發布關於關稅的聲明時指出：「請勿誤解箇中緣由：盧拉總統及其政府未能與美國進行真誠談判。
Their economic policies have inflicted harm on both the American and Brazilian populations.
其經濟政策對美國與巴西民眾皆構成損害。
Over the past year, Lula has prioritized personal pride over reaching an agreement for the welfare of the Brazilian people, and these tariffs are the price he has paid for that."
過去一年間，盧拉將個人尊嚴置於為巴西人民福祉達成協議之上，而這些關稅正是其所付出的代價。」
This tariff is imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which permits the United States to investigate Brazil's trade practices.
此項關稅係根據1974年《貿易法》第301條實施，允許美國對巴西的貿易行為展開調查。
In February, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that multiple tariffs imposed by Trump under a different law—the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977—were invalid.
美國最高法院於二月裁定，川普根據另一項法律——1977年《國際緊急經濟權力法》所課徵的多項關稅無效。
The court held that he had exceeded his authority and could not, on that basis, impose comprehensive tariffs on U.S. trading partners, including Brazil.
法院認為其逾越職權，無法據此對包括巴西在內的美國貿易夥伴實施全面性關稅。
Trump had invoked the law to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil in protest of Brazilian authorities prosecuting Jair Bolsonaro for attempting to overturn his defeat in the 2022 election.
川普曾援引該法對巴西課徵50%關稅，以抗議巴西當局起訴雅伊爾·博索納羅試圖推翻2022年大選落敗結果。
However, the relationship between Trump and Lula appeared to improve after Lula's visit to the White House in May.
然而，川普與盧拉的關係在5月盧拉訪問白宮後似乎有所改善。
