President Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, effective August 1, in response to the trial of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, which Trump called an "international disgrace." He also plans a similar tariff on copper imports, citing national security concerns.

Brazil's President Lula warned of potential retaliation against the tariffs, emphasizing Brazil's economic reciprocity laws. Trump has sent similar letters to multiple countries, justifying the tariffs as necessary for reciprocal trade relationships and urging nations to produce goods in the U.S.

Council row erupts as small business owner told she must pay fees despite local authority's mistake
A mobile coffee shop owner in Cheltenham, Tanya Baxter, is facing a £3,298.32 fee for street licensing despite the local council's failure to collect payments for a year due to an administrative error. The council waived past fees but insists she must pay for the upcoming year.

Community support for Baxter has been strong, with over 300 petition signatures urging the council to waive the fees. However, the licensing committee unanimously rejected the request, stating that while her business is valued, it does not warrant an exemption from the fees.
