U.S. Tariffs Hit Brazil, Local Food Ripples | Santa Fe News

The U.S. is hitting Brazil with a 25% tariff starting Wednesday, shifting from global deals to targeted country strikes. Locally in Albuquerque, Brazilian steakhouse Tucanos stays calm—its beef is U.S.-sourced, the Brazilian flair is in the cooking, though they do import some drinks. Meanwhile, juice bars like Squeezed Juice Bar are watching closely, hoping acai stays tariff-free. UNM economist Matías Fontenla warns that New Mexicans’ real concern isn’t just Brazilian goods—it’s the growing trade policy chaos and uncertainty. If the U.S. keeps escalating tariffs, the economic ripple could hit everyone harder. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
