Although the details are not yet known, the measure could affect large technology companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Meta, or Spotify.

The Brazilian government is reportedly considering imposing taxes on US technology companies, pending a decision by the White House on Monday to apply 25% tariffs on imported aluminium and steel.

This is reported by the Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo , which explains that the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio 'Lula' da Silva, would not be willing to sit still in the face of the trade war planned by his American counterpart, Donald Trump.

Although the details are not yet known, the measure could affect large technology companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Meta, or Spotify.

Finance Minister Fernando Haddad has avoided commenting on the announcements and has assured that he will wait for an official decision before making any announcement.

Along the same lines, Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira has also said that the Government will only comment on specific actions.

Trump explained last Sunday that these tariffs will apply to "all" countries. "Any steel that comes to the United States will have to have a 25% tariff. Aluminum too. 25% for both," he said.

He also announced that he would raise tariffs even further in response to retaliatory measures taken by other countries, although he said that he would not make this decision until Tuesday or Wednesday. "It's very simple. If they charge us, we charge them," he said.
