Trump Signs Executive Order Imposing 50% Tariff On Brazil, Cites Threat To National Security
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing a 50 per cent tariff on Brazil. US President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order imposing a 50 percent tariff on Brazil, the White House stated. According to a fact sheet of the order released by the White House, the decision was made based on the recent policies, actions, and practices by the Brazilian government that, according to the US, showed an exceptional and significant threat to its national security, foreign relations, and economic interests. 'President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order implementing an additional 40 percent tariff on Brazil, bringing the total tariff amount to 50 percent, to deal with recent policies, practices, and actions by the Government of Brazil that constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States," the statement read. As per the order, the Brazilian government's policies and actions had negatively impacted US businesses. The Brazilian policies have also undermined the free speech rights of US citizens, threatening US foreign policy and economic interests. The White House further termed the Brazilian government's legal actions against its former President Jair Bolsonaro and his supporters as human rights violations that have weakened the rule of law in the South American country. Earlier in the month, Trump threatened a 50 per cent tariff on imports from Brazil, starting August 1 and called for the end of the trial for the far-right leader Bolsonaro, who had bragged about his closeness to Trump, calling the trial a 'witch hunt". Meanwhile, the announcement of the increased tariff rate came on the same day the US imposed sanctions on Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The US had also earlier announced visa restrictions against Moraes and other court officials involved in Bolsonaro's trial.

US Sanctions At Least Six Indian Firms For Purchasing And Marketing Iranian Oil
The Indian firms are among a broader list that includes businesses operating across the petroleum supply chain, including brokers, shipping companies The United States has sanctioned at least six Indian companies for allegedly engaging in the trade of Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products, as part of a sweeping action against 20 global entities. The move is part of Washington's ongoing effort to tighten economic pressure on Tehran. The US Department of State announced the sanctions on Wednesday, alleging that the Indian companies knowingly conducted 'significant transactions" involving the purchase and marketing of Iranian petroleum products—actions deemed to be in violation of US sanctions on Iran. In a statement issued by the State Department, the US said the Iranian regime 'continues to fuel conflict in the Middle East to fund its destabilizing activities." It added, 'Today, the United States is taking action to stem the flow of revenue that the regime uses to support terrorism abroad, as well as to oppress its own people." The 20 targeted entities, along with 10 vessels identified as blocked property, are being sanctioned under Executive Order 13846. The order reimposes a range of sanctions against Iran in connection with its energy sector, following the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement. The Indian companies named in the sanctions include Kanchan Polymers, Alchemical Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Ramniklal S. Gosalia and Company, Jupiter Dye Chem Pvt. Ltd., Global Industrial Chemicals Ltd., and Persistent Petrochem Pvt. Ltd. The Indian firms are among a broader list that includes businesses operating across the petroleum supply chain, including brokers, shipping companies, and intermediaries accused of facilitating Iranian oil sales. view comments First Published: July 31, 2025, 07:47 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

TDP-led govt tarnishing Andhra Pradesh's image, says YSRCP
'The coalition government is tarnishing Andhra Pradesh's industrial and social fabric,' YSRCP leader Talari Rangaiah said in a release issued by the party. The former MP claimed that leaders of the ruling alliance were demanding contracts, commissions and jobs, which he said could lead to factory closures and relocation of industries. Amaravati, Jul 30 (PTI) The YSRCP on Wednesday accused the TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh of tarnishing the state's image by allegedly extorting industrialists, including a leading automobile manufacturer in Rayalaseema. 'Instead of visionary governance promised by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, what we see is extortion and mismanagement,' he alleged. Rangaiah accused the government of 'plundering' the state's natural resources such as sand, quartz and liquor, and of stifling avenues of wealth creation. He further alleged that welfare schemes were being 'manipulated to benefit party loyalists, in violation of the principle of impartiality'. The YSCRCP claimed that the number of welfare pension beneficiaries is 'steadily declining', while field assistants, animators and contractors are being retrenched, contradicting the government's promises of job creation. Rangaiah said the previous YSRCP ensured transparent and corruption-free delivery of welfare schemes through direct benefit transfer. This corrupt government threatens industries and impoverishes citizens, he alleged, calling for immediate corrective measures to protect Andhra Pradesh's economic and social future. Senior TDP leader G Deepak Reddy hit back at Rangaiah, accusing him of making false claims. 'These statements are not only factually incorrect but a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and cover up the YSRCP government's anti-industry track record,' Reddy told PTI. It was under the visionary leadership of Naidu that the automobile company was brought to Andhra Pradesh, he said, adding that the state government at that time ensured a conducive environment for industrial growth, resulting in one of the largest foreign investments in the state's history. The automobile company created thousands of direct and indirect jobs, boosting the local economy and placing Andhra Pradesh on the global industrial map, he said. Contrary to the YSRCP's claims, Reddy said, it is their actions that have undermined investor confidence. He said the TDP is committed to transparent, industry-friendly governance and the creation of quality employment opportunities for the people of Andhra Pradesh. 'We call upon the YSRCP to refrain from spreading misinformation and instead focus on creating a stable and welcoming environment for investment and development,' Reddy said.
