Brazil, Canada and India are the latest targets of US President Donald Trump's global tariff spree.

US President Trump has imposed sweeping new tariffs on 69 countries, citing national security and foreign policy concerns. Brazil faces the steepest hike — 50% — in response to investigations into Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro. India is hit with 25% tariffs for its ties with Russia. Canada’s tariffs rise to 35% over fentanyl concerns, while Mexico gets a 90-day reprieve before potential 30% tariffs. The new rates, affecting goods from pharmaceuticals to electronics, take effect August 7.
