In the first half of 2026, the United States accounts for the smallest share of Brazil’s exports since data collection began in 1997, according to a report cited by multiple outlets. American buyers take 9.4% of Brazilian exports in January–June 2026, down from 12.1% in the same period a year earlier. Both sources link the decline to tariff actions and ongoing U.S. tariff policy discussions affecting Brazilian goods. One outlet notes that the earlier figure predates the first round of tariffs, suggesting the trade share drops after tariff implementation. Another outlet reports that the shift is occurring as Brazil’s trade increasingly gravitates toward China, which maintains and widens its position as Brazil’s top trading partner. The reports also place the figures in the context of U.S. public hearings on a proposed new round of tariffs against Brazilian goods. Taken together, the accounts describe a clear change in Brazil’s export destinations, with the U.S. share reaching a record low and China’s role strengthening during the same period.
