In a most unexpected turn of events, His Excellency, President Donald Trump, hath decreed the imposition of a 50% tariff upon the imports of Brazil, a move which doth surely escalate the already strained diplomatic ties between the two nations. This tariff shall be enforced on the first day of August, a date which, one might say, will be remembered for its peculiar significance.
It was through the most modern of missives, his social media channels, that President Trump did proclaim this action in a letter most formal, directed to the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The missive was no mere pleasantry, but rather a pointed critique of Brazil’s “unfair trade practices,” with particular scorn for the Brazilian Supreme Court’s handling of the former President, Jair Bolsonaro. The unfortunate soul, presently embroiled in a trial for inciting an anti-democratic coup attempt, surely hath drawn the ire of his political adversaries.
It is no small matter that such events did lead to the storming of the Planalto presidential palace in Brasília on the eighth day of January, 2025. One cannot but imagine the scandalous nature of such an occurrence.

Further heightening the tensions was President Trump’s previous discourse, wherein he did openly support Bolsonaro and critique the BRICS summit. His warning to any nation aligning with what he termed “anti-American BRICS policies” was most clear: an additional 10% tariff would be forthcoming, should any dare to oppose.
As if to add a flourish to this already heated diplomatic exchange, the timing of these revelations coincided with the release of the Federal Open Market Committee minutes. The minutes revealed that most of the esteemed Federal Reserve officials do favor rate cuts in the year 2025, with some even suggesting that such cuts might take place as early as the end of this very month.
And lo! As news of the tariff spread like wildfire, Bitcoin, which had previously soared to a new all-time high of $112,000, saw a most sudden and dramatic retreat, dipping to a modest $110,800. One cannot help but notice that the crypto market, which had been buoyed by the optimism surrounding the Fed’s potential rate cuts, now appears to be quite wary as the specter of global trade tensions doth once again make its unwelcome presence known.
And so, dear reader, this tale doth continue to unfold. The plot thickens, as they say, and we await further developments in this most curious saga.
