- javert 7y agoI think the solution of just paying Brazil to protect the forests is much cleaner and much more likely to work over the long term. Tariffs have a lot of side effects. They are very messy, politically. They create winners and losers in both countries.

An instability or crisis will likely have the opposite effect. In particular, road surface degradation or disruptions in the exports.
