The United States has initiated an investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. This specific part of the law allows the government to investigate whether a foreign country is engaging in unfair or discriminatory practices that affect American commerce.
Why it matters: This is the start of a formal inquiry that could eventually lead to tariffs or other trade restrictions if the investigation finds that Brazil is treating U.S. companies unfairly.
Who it affects
- U.S. exporters in the digital services and electronic payments sectors
