Trump dumps tariff on Brazil’s beef

Nov 26, 2025

United States President Donald Trump has ended his 40 per cent tariff on beef from Brazil.

Still a tariff of 26.4 per cent remains.

He also eased tariffs on Brazil’s coffee, tea, cocoa, nuts and some fruits and juices.

His tariff changes come after continued rising grocery prices that have defied his election promises to reduce food prices on day one of his presidency.

Brazil sold US $1.5 billion worth of beef to the U.S. over the first eight months of this year.

Trump imposed the 40 per cent additional tariff against former president Jair Bolsonaro who is now serving a 27-year sentence in prison. He was thrown out by a coup.

On another front in the Trump offensive against record-high beef prices, Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater said the Department of Justice is launching antitrust enforcement on the beef industry, feed, fertilizer, seed, fuel and farm equipment.

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
