UNI joins Brazilian union movement in condemning Trump's weaponization of trade policy UNI condemns Donald Trump’s threat of 50 per cent tariffs on Brazil, a move intended to stop the prosecution of right-wing ally Jair Bolsonaro.

Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazil aren't about trade - they're about protecting his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro from prosecution for backing a coup
