Brazil is deluding itself if it believes it can introduce tarrifs for the benefit of itself and then expect trading partners not to follow suit. It's a fools game.

Sep 21st, 2012 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ron Kirk deserves the thanks of all Brazilians and all in MERCOSUR: Ron Kirk's rude, naive and inexerienced approach has finally UNITED BRAZILIANS RIGHT AND LEFT - against the USA ! Even the normally servile hyper-pro-USA “O Estado de Sao Paulo” showed the indignation against this almost comedic communication from “The Executive Office of the President” - The U.S. Trade Representative, “Ambassador” Ron Kirk. ---The first lesson about Latin America - which even some of the Brits have absorbed - is: NEVER CHALLENGE VERBALLY AND THEN EXPECT A SERVILE COMPLIANCE! This works in the U.S. a threat “you may need a good whacking”(in New Jersey), or “my nephew is a lawyer” (in New York), or “I file a complaint with the commission” (in Washington. D.C.). It does not work anywhere in Latin America! Even Mikey Cantor , the CIA-linked attorney, as U.S. Trade Representative used only veiled mafia-style hints about geopolitical consequences - which gave the other side the time to huddle and agree on a “negotiated settlment” (details “undisclosed”!). Thus “Ambasssador” Ron Kirk is not the right representative for the interests of the U.S. in 2012 and Latins are not going to give him a pass for being “minority person”. Brazil position is very clear: The “quantitative easing” by the U.S. Fed of TRILLIONS additional U.S. backed by hotair and with the burden of a U.S. debt of $15 trillion (of which $ 2 trillion to China, $ 1 trillion to Japan, $ 300+ billion to Brazil!) - has pushed Brazil's industry working with the solid REAL into competative disadvantage and has lead in 2011 to a trade surplus of the U.S. of $ 8+ billion over Brazil's export to the U.S. 2012 - to August, the U.S. trade surplus over Brazil is already $ 2+billion. At the same time, U.S. taxpayer subsized agricultural exports - are undercutting Brazil agricultural exports on the international markets. Now Brazilians rally together against “Ambassador” Kirk !

Which planet have you been on recently?
Brasil have been devaluing the Real to boost exports for months now.
To quote a pun: get real!
