BRASILIA, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — Brazil has requested consultations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) over high tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Brazilian exports, the country's Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.

According to the agency, sending a request to the WTO is the first step in challenging tariffs before the process moves to the possible dispute resolution phase.

The request challenges tariffs imposed by Trump's executive orders on April 2 and July 30, 2025, based on several U.S. laws. The orders imposed tariffs of up to 50 percent on a wide range of Brazilian goods.

“By applying the above-mentioned measures, the United States is grossly violating the fundamental commitments that this country has made to the WTO, such as the most-favored-nation principle and the tariff limits agreed upon within the framework of this organization,” the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Bilateral consultations are the first formal step in the WTO dispute settlement system. They aim to help the parties find a negotiated solution to the dispute.

“The Brazilian government confirms its readiness to negotiate and hopes that consultations will contribute to a solution to the problem,” the ministry said in a statement.

The parties will agree on the date and place of the consultations in the coming weeks.

On Wednesday, Trump's new tariff on Brazil went into effect, which became the highest ever imposed by the US government.

Brazil's Ministry of Trade estimates that the change will affect about 35.9 percent of Brazilian exports to the United States.

The list of exemptions includes orange juice, commercial aircraft, oil, cars and parts, fertilizers and energy products. However, high tariffs are also imposed on a range of products, such as meat and coffee.–0–
