Trump signs order to remove tariffs from Brazilian beef, coffee
US President Donald Trump on Nov. 20, 2025 removes his 40 percent tariffs on Brazilian food products, including beef, coffee, cocoa and fruits that were imposed in July to punish Brazil over the prosecution of its former president, Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro. The move follows a similar order by the administration last week to remove tariffs on several agricultural products as the White House makes a U-turn on some tariffs that have increased the cost of food in the United States. The order will affect Brazilian imports to the US on or after Nov. 13 and may require a refund of the duties collected on those goods while the tariffs were still being charged, according to the text of the order released by the White House. Brazil normally supplies a third of the coffee used in the United States, and has more recently become an important supplier of beef, particularly the type that is used to make burgers.
