Brazil’s Haddad to speak to Bessent after steep US tariffs

SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazil’s Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Wednesday he will hold a call next week with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, as the country seeks to negotiate trade after President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on several goods from Brazil.

“It will be on Wednesday, and depending on how the talks go it could advance to an in-person meeting,” Haddad told reporters.
