Brazil’s Embraer says new US tariffs will add complexity and costs to jets

(Reuters) – Embraer said on Tuesday that tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump would add complexity and costs for the Brazilian jet maker’s business and customers in the United States.

This month, Trump introduced new global tariffs that would set a minimum of 10% duties for all U.S. imports on countries like Brazil, but with targeted rates of up to 50% to help the United States recapture an industrial base that he says has withered over decades of trade liberalization. The tariffs are expected to impact aerospace, a sector that has operated without tariffs on parts or finished products for decades, Embraer said in a statement.
