The U.S. Cattlemen’s Association said it was disappointed that USTR decided to exempt Brazilian bovine products. “USTR has acknowledged that Brazil’s practices are harming U.S. commerce,” said USCA President Justin Tupper. “President Lula and his government have not negotiated with the U.S. in good faith,” Rubio wrote. “For the past year, Lula has put his own ego ahead of making a deal for the welfare of the Brazilian people, and these tariffs are the price for that.”
