Nicholas KralevHOST
Can you bring us up to date on the latest developments on those two matters and, um, tell us whether you think they're connected in any way?

Antonio RamalhoGUEST
The first one, w-when it comes to trade, this is part of, uh, uh, Trump's aggressive, uh, policy against the whole world, not-- it's nothing really particularly related to Brazil.

Antonio RamalhoGUEST
Uh, and in fact, it, it, it does not affect Brazil's, uh, Brazilian economy, uh, very deeply, uh, because now we have less than ten percent of our exports go to the, to the U.S.

Antonio RamalhoGUEST
So in a sense, we are already redistributing our, uh, foreign trade, and this has to do with the, the strength of the agricultural sector, which is, uh, attending the demand that comes from Asia, basically China, India, and so on, Asian as well.

Antonio RamalhoGUEST
Um, uh, and there is a, a, a less, less of an interest in, in the U.S. market in-- except for specific sectors.

Nicholas KralevHOST
Beyond these two specific examples of the latest tariffs and this election matter, how are the actions of the Trump administration since Trump returned to the White House, uh, eighteen months ago affecting Brazil?
