US tariffs on Brazil are a bitter pill for sugar and ethanol makers

Brazil's ethanol and sugar producers expressed despair over new United States tariffs. These tariffs were imposed on thousands of Brazilian products by the U.S. government. Brazilian officials rejected the U.S. claims of unfair trade practices and market access. The U.S. seeks better access to Brazil's ethanol market without concessions for sugar. This situation reflects a rollback in cooperation between the two nations.
