Happy Thursday, Patriots!

President Trump just fired the next shot in his global trade revolution—slapping a 50% tariff on ALL Brazilian imports starting August 1.

The move comes in response to Brazil’s “unfair trade,” attacks on free speech, and persecution of Bolsonaro.

Trump isn’t playing games. He warned Brazil that any retaliation will be met with even higher penalties — and launched an investigation into their shady digital practices.

This comes on the heels of Trump raising tariffs on six more nations, proving once again: America First is back, and it means business.

Stay tuned. The Trump Trade Doctrine is rewriting the rules.

The meeting showcased Trump's commitment to securing beneficial deals that put America first while tapping into Africa's vast natural resources and markets.

While critics continue their usual complaints about his direct approach, Trump remains laser-focused on delivering results for American workers and businesses. The president praised these nations' potential for partnership, noting their valuable minerals, oil deposits, and strategic importance in global trade.

As Trump reshapes international commerce through his tariff policies and strategic negotiations, he's proving once again that his business-minded approach to diplomacy gets results. Just months into his second term, these kinds of productive meetings demonstrate why voters chose experience and deal-making ability over empty political rhetoric.

🔔 Trump Hosts African Leaders to Discuss Trade Partnerships 🔔

President Trump hosted five African leaders at the White House for a working lunch in the State Dining Room, welcoming the presidents of Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal to discuss expanding economic partnerships. The administration's approach centers on what President Trump describes as working "tirelessly to forge new economic opportunities involving both the United States and many African nations," positioning Africa as a region with "great economic potential, like few other places, in many ways."

President Trump praised the visiting nations as "very vibrant places with very valuable land, great minerals, great oil deposits and wonderful people," while emphasizing that long-term economic partnerships would prove "far more effective, and sustainable, and beneficial than anything else that we could be doing together." The president assured the five countries that they were unlikely to face the tariffs he has imposed on other nations as part of his broader trade war strategy.

During the meeting, Gabonese President Brice Oligui Nguema and Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani focused their discussions on minerals and rare earths, with Nguema asserting that "we are not poor countries we are rich countries" when referencing rare earth resources. Nguema further explained that Gabon seeks partners to help develop its raw mineral resources locally but requires significant energy investments to process materials domestically, advocating for "win-win partnerships."

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye promoted his country's tourism investment opportunities, including a golf course project that would be only a six-hour flight from New York, suggesting President Trump could visit to demonstrate his golfing skills. The US International Development Finance Corporation announced it would provide project development funding for the Banio Potash Mine in Mayumba, Gabon, helping the country reduce its dependence on imports.

President Trump encouraged the nations to increase defense investments through purchases from United States manufacturers in their ongoing fight against what he called the "big problem" of terrorism in Africa. He also indicated that immigration would be a topic of discussion, particularly concerning "high rates of people overstaying visas" and the potential development of Safe Third Country Agreements with these nations.

A notable moment arose when President Trump complimented Liberian President Joseph Boakai on his English-speaking abilities, asking "where did you learn to speak so beautifully?" despite English being Liberia's official language. Boakai responded that he learned English in Liberia, prompting President Trump to remark, "That's very interesting. I have people at this table who can't speak nearly as well."

The exchange drew criticism from some Liberians and African observers who viewed the comments as condescending, particularly given Liberia's history as a nation founded by freed American slaves in the 19th century. Liberian youth advocate Archie Tamel Harris expressed feeling insulted, stating that President Trump's question suggested that "people in the west still see Africans as people in villages who are not educated."

However, Liberian Foreign Minister Sara Beysolow Nyanti defended the interaction, explaining that "there was no offense" from the Liberian president's perspective and that President Trump was recognizing "the American influence on our English in Liberia." White House officials described the comment as a "heartfelt compliment" and emphasized President Trump's commitment to African partnerships.

President Trump's senior advisor for Africa, Massad Boulos, stated that "the continent of Africa has never had such a friend in the White House as they do in President Trump," while the administration has shifted away from what officials called "a charity-based foreign aid model" toward partnerships with nations that show "both the ability and willingness to help themselves."

The five countries represented at the meeting constitute a small fraction of US-Africa trade but possess significant untapped natural resources, with Senegal and Mauritania serving as important transit and origin countries for migration issues of concern to the Trump administration. African Union officials have questioned how Africa could deepen trade ties with the US under what they describe as "abusive" tariff proposals and visa restrictions largely targeting African travelers.

The administration's top diplomat for Africa, Ambassador Troy Fitrell, has dismissed allegations of unfair US trade practices, while President Trump is expected to announce dates for a broader summit with African leaders, possibly in September around the time of the United Nations General Assembly. President Trump's diplomatic outreach to African leaders represents a strategic pivot toward economic partnership, positioning these resource-rich nations as key allies in his broader vision of American-centered global trade relationships while navigating the complex legacy of historical US-Africa relations.
