🇺🇸 English

After formally identifying a series of unfair trade practices by Brazil, the world's tenth-largest economy, the United States has decided to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Brazil.

米国は世界第10位の経済大国であるブラジルによる一連の不公平な貿易慣行正式に認定した後ブラジルからの輸入品に対して25%の関税を課すことを決定した

This tariff measure, first proposed last month, is set to take effect on July 22.

先月初めて提案されたこの関税措置は、7月22日をもって発効することになる

This measure excludes items not produced within the United States, as well as certain goods for which authorities fear supply chain disruptions.

本措置は米国内で生産されていない物品サプライチェーンの混乱当局が懸念する一部の品目を対象から除外する

The exemptions include coffee, beef, oranges and orange juice, specific oil and gas energy products, and aerospace components.

除外対象にはコーヒー牛肉オレンジおよびオレンジジュース特定の石油・ガスエネルギー製品、ならびに航空宇宙部品が含まれる。

Following a year-long investigation, the United States Trade Representative concluded that Brazil engages in a series of unfair trade practices deemed unreasonable and inequitable, including lax enforcement of anti-corruption measures and its own unjust tariffs.

米国通商代表部は1年にわたる調査の結果ブラジルには腐敗防止の執行の緩さ独自の不当な関税など、不合理かつ不公平とみなされる一連の不公平な貿易慣行あると結論付けた

However, the United States has maintained a trade surplus in goods with Brazil for many years.

しかし米国はブラジルとの間で長年にわたりモノの貿易黒字を維持している

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated in a press release that this measure is necessary to ensure American workers and businesses can compete under fair competitive conditions.

ジェイミーソン・グリア米通商代表声明の中で米国の労働者と企業公正な競争条件のもとで競争できるようにするため本措置必要であると述べた

"Although we have engaged in extensive consultations with Brazil over the past year, these outstanding issues remain unresolved.

過去1年間にわたりブラジルと広範な協議を重ねてきたがこれらの懸案事項は未解決のままである

Nevertheless, we are prepared to continue dialogue with Brazil in order to bring about the long-overdue changes to the problems revealed by this investigation," he stated.

とはいえ本調査で明らかになった諸問題に長年必要とされてきた変革をもたらすためブラジルとの対話を継続する用意があると述べた

After US authorities warned in early June that they would propose tariffs, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reacted with indignation.

米国当局が6月初頭に関税を提案する旨を警告した後、ブラジルのルイス・イナシオ・ルーラ・ダ・シルバ大統領は憤慨した反応を示した

Instead, he pointed to political motives and denounced Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, his opponent in the October election.

その代わりに彼は政治的な思惑を指摘し10月の選挙における自身の対立候補である上院議員フラビオ・ボルソナロを非難した

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

ボルソナロは最近ワシントンを訪問しておりドナルド・トランプ大統領の盟友であるジャイル・ボルソナロ前大統領の息子である

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in a post on X regarding the tariff announcement: "There should be no confusion as to why this is happening.

マルコ・ルビオ国務長官は、関税発表に関するXへの投稿次のように述べた「なぜそうなるのか混乱してはならない

President Lula and his administration have not negotiated in good faith with the United States.

ルーラ大統領とその政権は、米国誠意を持って交渉していない

His economic policies are adversely affecting both Americans and Brazilians.

彼の経済政策米国人にもブラジル人にも悪影響を及ぼしている

Over the past year, Lula has prioritized his own ego over deals that would benefit the Brazilian people, and these tariffs are the price of that."

過去1年間ルーラブラジル国民の福祉のための取引を優先する代わりに自己のエゴを優先しておりこれらの関税その代償である

These tariffs are imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which enables the United States to initiate an investigation into Brazil's trade practices.

この関税は1974年通商法301条に基づいて課されており米国がブラジルの貿易慣行に関する調査開始することを可能にしている

In February, the US Supreme Court ruled that many of the tariffs imposed by former President Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 exceeded the authority granted by that law to impose broad tariffs on US trading partners, including Brazil.

米国最高裁判所2月1977年国際緊急経済権限法に基づきトランプ前大統領課した多くの関税について、同法の下でブラジルを含む米国の貿易相手国広範な関税を課す権限を超えたとの判決を下した

Under the same law, Trump had imposed a 50% tariff on Brazil in protest of the country's indictment of Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 election results.

トランプ氏は同法に基づき2022年の選挙での敗北を覆そうとしたとしてジャイル・ボルソナロ氏を起訴したブラジルに抗議する形で50%の関税を課していた

However, the relationship between Trump and Lula appeared to improve after Lula visited the White House in May.

しかしトランプ氏とルーラ氏の関係はルーラ氏が5月にホワイトハウスを訪問したことで改善したように見えた
