Trump is threatening Brazil with tariffs to help his insurrectionist buddy Bolsonaro and line Big Tech’s pockets. This isn’t about trade, it’s Trump doing authoritarian dirty work for his friends.

Trump touts a new trade “deal” — this time with Indonesia. Zero details, zero transparency. What a shocker.

“Instead of being collateral damage, workers need to be the primary focus of our trade policy.”. 📺: Chris Zatratz of @UAW on how the upcoming USMCA review is an opportunity to leave behind the manufacturing race to the bottom & establish baseline protections for workers

Almost feel bad for Hassett having to defend the indefensible. (But not really – he should be ashamed). This is just about Trump’s authoritarianism and giveaways for Big Tech.
Holy shit -- Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade deficit with the US

As predicted, Trump has slapped new tariffs on the EU despite indications they are conceding to his demands to drop taxes on Big Tech. There is no point in making concessions to this Deal-Breaker in Chief.
The only "victory" here is for tech bro billionaires. If the EU thinks this will make Trump back down on tariff bullying, they should give Canada a ring -- they just got slapped with a 35% tariff AFTER caving in on the same handouts to big tech CEOs.

💯AND he's using these tariffs to target Brazil's social media regulations to benefit his Big Tech CEO buddies.
President Trump is weaponizing tariffs against Brazil to protect his political ally, Bolsonaro. Maybe Brazil’s investigation hit a little too close to home for a twice-impeached president who also tried to overturn a democratic election.

Trump loves to brag that he “tore up NAFTA.” But as today’s ep of NYT’s The Daily put it: . “He didn’t discard NAFTA. He redid a version of it… we're not looking at, like, an entirely wholesale change in trade…He is making changes, but he's not upending the whole system.”.
