Brazil says 2,000 products exported to US exempt from new tariffs

Brazil's Industry Minister Marcio Rosa said around 2,000 products, including coffee and orange juice, exported to US will be exempted from the new tariffs. US announced 12.5% tariffs on Brazil for alleged forced labour practices and 25% tariffs for unfair trade practices. Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva rejected the allegations and called the tariffs "arbitrary and unjustified".
