U.S. Tariffs Threaten Brazil's Seafood Industry, Jobs

U.S. Tariffs Threaten Brazil's Seafood Industry, Jobs

The U.S. put a big tax, called a tariff, on fish from Brazil.

This makes the fish more expensive.

Because of this, the Brazilian fish industry is worried they'll lose a lot of money and jobs.

They're asking the government for help, like a loan.

Some fishing boats have to stop fishing because of the high tax.

Also, prices for premium fish like lobster might go down because fewer people will buy them.

However, regular people in Brazil may find that fish becomes cheaper to buy.

The fish industry in Brazil is seeking ways to reduce the impact of the new tariffs.
