Brazilian and American negotiators will meet again on Monday to resume discussions over the US "tarifaço" — the broad set of import tariffs imposed by Washington — according to CartaCapital.
The new round of talks was scheduled after a phone conversation between Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and former US President Donald Trump, as reported by G1. The meeting will involve Brazil's minister and the US Trade Representative, per Correio Braziliense.
The negotiations come amid ongoing tensions over the US tariff policy, which Brazil has sought to soften or reverse. The Monday session marks a continuation of diplomatic efforts rather than a fresh start, following earlier exchanges between the two governments.
According to UOL Notícias, the Planalto — Brazil's presidential palace — does not expect Trump to roll back the tariffs before the upcoming US election. That assessment suggests the Brazilian government is preparing for a prolonged standoff, even as it keeps channels of communication open.
The Monday meeting will test whether the recent high-level call can translate into concrete progress on tariff relief. Brazil's priority remains reducing the impact of the levies on its exports, but the timeline for any meaningful change remains unclear.
Observers will watch whether the negotiators can move beyond procedural talks and produce tangible outcomes, or whether the tariff issue stays frozen until after the US election cycle concludes.
