🇺🇸 English

After conducting an in-depth investigation into a series of trade practices by Brazil, the world's tenth-largest economy, which the United States deemed unfair, the U.S. decided to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Brazil.

在对全球第十大经济体巴西所涉一系列被美方认定为不公平的贸易行为进行深入调查后,美国决定对从巴西进口的商品加征25%的关税

The tariff was initially proposed last month and will officially take effect on July 22.

该关税最初于上月提出并将于7月22日起正式生效

The directive exempts certain goods that are either not produced domestically in the United States or that authorities fear could disrupt supply chains.

该指令豁免了部分在美国本土缺乏生产当局担忧可能扰乱供应链的商品

The exemption list includes coffee, beef, oranges and orange juice, certain oil and gas energy products, as well as aerospace components.

豁免清单涵盖咖啡牛肉橙子橙汁某些石油与天然气能源产品以及航空航天零部件

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 and the imposition of unreasonable tariffs, which are deemed unjust and inequitable.

美国贸易代表办公室经过长达一年的调查后认定巴西存在一系列不公平贸易行为包括反腐败执法松懈以及自身征收不合理关税等,这些行为被视为不合理且不公正

Nevertheless, the United States has maintained a merchandise trade surplus with Brazil for many years.

然而多年来美国对巴西一直保持着商品贸易顺差

United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated in a declaration that this measure is essential to ensuring that American workers and businesses can compete on a level playing field.

美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔在一份声明中表示此举对于确保美国工人与企业能在公平的竞争环境中展开竞争,实属必要

He stated: “Extensive negotiations with Brazil over the past year have failed to resolve these issues, yet we remain willing to continue talks with Brazil in order to drive the long-term changes needed to address the problems identified in the investigation.”

他表示:“过去一年与巴西的广泛谈判未能解决这些问题但我们仍愿意继续与巴西谈判以推动调查中发现的问题得到长期所需的改变。”

In early June, after US officials issued a warning that they would propose imposing additional tariffs, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva responded with indignation.

六月初美国官员发出将提议加征关税警告后,巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦作出了愤慨的回应

He then redirected his criticism toward political factors, accusing his rival, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who is competing against him in Brazil's October elections.

转而将矛头指向政治因素指责其竞争对手参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗后者在巴西十月大选中与他竞争

Bolsonaro recently visited Washington and is the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is an ally of President Donald Trump.

博索纳罗近期访问过华盛顿,是前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗之子而雅伊尔·博索纳罗是唐纳德·特朗普总统的盟友

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on X regarding the tariff announcement, stating: “Do not be mistaken about the reason for the tariffs: President Lula and his administration have not engaged in sincere negotiations with the United States.

美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥在X平台上就关税公告发文指出:“切勿对关税缘由产生任何误解卢拉总统及其政府并未与美国展开真诚谈判

Their economic policies have had adverse effects on both the American and Brazilian people.

其经济政策对美国民众与巴西民众均构成不利影响

Over the past year, Lula has prioritized his personal pride over the welfare of the Brazilian people, preventing an agreement from being reached, and these tariffs are the price paid for that.

过去一年间卢拉将个人自尊置于巴西人民福祉之上致使协议未能达成,而此番关税正是为此付出的代价。”

These tariffs are imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which authorises the United States to investigate Brazil's trade practices.

这些关税依据《1974年贸易法》第301条征收该条款授权美国巴西的贸易行为展开调查

In February of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that many of the tariffs imposed by Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 were invalid.

美国最高法院于今年二月裁定特朗普依据《1977年国际紧急经济权力法》征收的诸多关税无效

The Court held that Trump's actions under that legal framework had exceeded his authority, and therefore he could not impose comprehensive tariffs on U.S. trading partners, including Brazil.

法院认为特朗普在该法律框架下的行为已超越权限因此无法对包括巴西在内的美国贸易伙伴施加全面关税

Trump had invoked the act to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil, in protest against the country's prosecution of Jair Bolsonaro for his attempt to overturn the results of the 2022 election defeat.

特朗普曾援引该法对巴西加征50%的关税以此抗议该国因雅伊尔·博索纳罗试图推翻2022年大选失利结果而对其提起的诉讼

However, relations between Trump and Lula appeared to thaw in May, when Lula visited the White House.

然而特朗普与卢拉之间的关系似乎在5月有所缓和当时卢拉访问了白宫
