The Brazilian government has unveiled a plan to support local exporters impacted by the 50 percent tariff imposed by the United States.
Officials announced what has been dubbed “Sovereign Brazil”, a credit lifeline of 30 billion reais ($5.5bn) on Wednesday.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva described the plan, which includes a bill to be sent to Congress, as a first step to help local exporters.
Congressional leaders attended Wednesday’s ceremony, a first in months, in a sign of growing political support for the leftist leader in response to US President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Other measures announced by the Brazilian government include postponing tax charges for companies affected by US tariffs, providing 5 billion reais ($926,000) in tax credits to small and medium-sized companies until the end of 2026 and expanding access to insurance against cancelled orders. The plan also incentivises public purchases of items that could not be exported to the US.
The measures take effect immediately, but will only stay in place for four months unless Congressional leaders act.
“We cannot be scared, nervous and anxious when there is a crisis. A crisis is for us to create new things,” President Lula said. “In this case, what is unpleasant is that the reasons given to impose sanctions against Brazil do not exist.”
The tariffs have drastically weighed on sectors across the South American nation, including the beef industry. In July, when Trump first announced the plan, Robert Perosa, president of industry trade group Brazilian Beef Exporters Associations (ABIEC), said that the tariffs would make it “economically unfeasible” to continue to export to the US market.
Trump has directly tied the 50 percent tariff on many imported Brazilian goods to the judicial situation of his embattled ally, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently under house arrest.
In late July, the White House said that the order to impose this rate of tariffs is because of “the Government of Brazil’s politically motivated persecution, intimidation, harassment, censorship, and prosecution of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and thousands of his supporters are serious human rights abuses that have undermined the rule of law in Brazil”.

Yungblud has shared the devastating text message Jack Osbourne sent him after Ozzy Osbourne’s death. The singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, had forged a strong bond with the Prince of Darkness and his family before the star died aged 76 last month.
The 28-year-old rocker had been a part of Ozzy’s epic Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park last month just weeks before the Black Sabbath frontman passed. And he even gave him a unique and personal gift on the day, repaying his loyalties.
Now, he has described the “weird” couple of weeks that have followers Ozzy’s passing. “You get to know someone personally, who you love. And then they leave,” he said.

Speaking to the Sun, he added: “I was texting him, then his son Jack texted me and said, ‘He’s gone.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ “Being around the family and being at the funeral, the amount of love there. That family are real as f***k.”
And Dominic revealed his dream would be to echo the Osbourne family away from the cameras. “The dream is to have kids and a family like that,” he confessed. “There’s no gimmicks. It’s authentic.”
He had previously admitted he has found the death of his mentor “overwhelming” after previously declaring the star as “the greatest of all time” in a touching tribute. The chart topping singer candidly explained that the sudden death of his friend has been hard to process.
He told The Times: “I told a friend that I thought Ozzy had another five albums in him. And then he did the show and then he died. It’s so overwhelming.”
“I just love him and right till the very end he supported me. I get emotional, because I’ve loved him since I was about two.”
And he added: “He taught me self-belief and so I’m going to take his spirit and make sure everybody knows for the rest of my life who Ozzy Osbourne was – he meant everything to me.” The report also explained that the singer learned of Ozzy’s death while he was on a remote island without internet access where he had been recording new music.
Yungblud took to Instagram to shares candid photos of himself chatting to and smiling alongside wheelchair bound Ozzy in a touching tribute online following his death. He wrote alongside the snaps: “I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don’t.
“I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough.
“You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.”
On Tuesday evening Yungblud was also joined by his mum on the red carpet for his upcoming documentary film. He took his mum Samantha Jane Harrison as his date for the London premiere of Yungblud: Are You Ready, Boy?
A United States appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump can proceed with efforts to slash foreign aid payments, despite such funds being designated by Congress.
The two-to-one ruling on Wednesday overturned a previous injunction that required the Department of State to resume the payments, including about $4bn for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and $6bn for HIV and AIDS programmes.
But the majority opinion from the appeals court did not weigh the merits of whether Trump could nix congressionally approved funds.
Instead, it decided the case based on the idea that the plaintiffs did not meet the legal basis to qualify for a court injunction.
Writing for the majority, Circuit Judge Karen Henderson said the groups in question “lack a cause of action to press their claims”. They include the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and the Journalism Development Network, both recipients of federal aid.
“The grantees have failed to satisfy the requirements for a preliminary injunction in any event,” wrote Henderson, who was appointed by former President George HW Bush.
She was joined in her decision by Gregory Katsas, a Trump appointee.
However, the panel’s third judge — Florence Pan, nominated under former President Joe Biden — issued a dissenting opinion that argued Trump should not be allowed to violate the separation of powers by cutting the aid.
“The court’s acquiescence in and facilitation of the Executive’s unlawful behaviour derails the carefully crafted system of checked and balanced power that serves as the greatest security against tyranny — the accumulation of excessive authority in a single Branch,” Pan wrote in her opinion.
The ruling hands a victory to the Trump administration, which has faced a series of legal challenges to Trump’s efforts to radically reshape the federal government.
That includes dramatic cuts to spending and government agencies like USAID, which was established by an act of Congress.
Almost immediately upon taking office, Trump announced a 90-day pause on all foreign aid.
He has since moved to gut USAID, prompting outcry from two of his predecessors, Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush.
By March, the Trump administration had announced it planned to fold USAID into the State Department, fundamentally dismantling the agency. That same month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said he had cancelled 83 percent of USAID’s contracts.
Part of Trump’s reasoning for these changes was to reduce “waste” and “bloat” in the government. He also sought to better align government programming with his “America First” agenda.
But critics say the executive branch does not have the power to tear down congressionally mandated agencies. They also argue that Congress has the power to designate funds for aid, framing Trump’s efforts as a push for extreme presidential power.
Republicans, however, control both houses of Congress, and in July, Congress passed the Rescission Act of 2025, allowing the government to claw back nearly $9bn in foreign aid and funding for public broadcasting.
US District Judge Amir Ali previously ruled that the Trump administration must pay its agreed-upon funds to humanitarian groups and other contractors that partnered with the government to distribute aid.
Administration officials in February estimated there was $2bn in outstanding aid payments due by the deadline Judge Ali set.
But the appeals court’s ruling has set back cases to restore the foreign aid to the contractors.
Liverpool are closing in on the signing of 18-year-old defender Giovanni Leoni from Parma for a fee of about £26m.
The centre-half has emerged as a key target for Arne Slot’s side and is now set for a move to Anfield.
The Italy Under-19s international began his career at Padova and had a short spell at Sampdoria before joining Parma last summer.
Liverpool could further bolster their defensive ranks and remain in talks with Crystal Palace for England centre-back Marc Guehi.
FA Cup winners Palace are believed to want £40m for their captain, who only has 12 months left on his contract, but Liverpool want to pay less than that.
Eagles chairman Steve Parish said earlier this week Guehi might be sold to avoid him moving on a free transfer next summer.
If the clubs do agree a deal, the level of playing time he would be afforded at Liverpool will be a crucial consideration for Guehi in a World Cup year.
The Reds have already spent about £270m this summer, though they have recouped about £170m through player sales.
They have also had a £110m bid for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle, though sources have told BBC Sport the Swede remains determined to move to the Premier League champions.
Italian football journalist Daniele Verri:
Giovanni Leoni is very strong in the air. He’s a technically gifted player as well. He can come out from defence and start building from the back, but he’s obviously at his most impactful in the air. He’s improved a lot in that area too.
A couple of big clubs in Italy, including AC Milan and Inter Milan, were also after him. So I didn’t expect a bold move from a Premier League club so early, to be honest. But Liverpool put the money on the table – probably even a bit more than Parma were originally asking for.
Who wouldn’t fancy playing Anfield? I think any player would be happy to join Liverpool – and, of course, the Premier League, which is the most entertaining and attractive league in the world right now.
I would have loved to see Giovanni join a big Italian club before moving abroad. But that’s football – the market is open. If a club like Liverpool comes in with 30m euros plus bonuses, it’s difficult to turn down such an offer.
It will be difficult for him to start regularly – he knows that. But I don’t think that’s a major problem at his age.
Having the opportunity to be part of such a strong squad and play alongside great players, especially someone like Virgil van Dijk, is a huge opportunity.
