The US government announced the possibility of imposing an additional 25% tariff on imports from Brazil, citing concerns over what it described as unfair trade practices. The refinery is part of Petrobras' investment plans in Rio de Janeiro, which include a package valued at approximately R$33 billion. The announcement comes amid broader geopolitical tensions involving the United States and Iran, as discussions continue in Washington over presidential military authority and regional security issues.
