A government official in Brazil says the country has requested consultations at the World Trade Organization over tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Brazil's government has filed a request for consultations at the World Trade Organization over the tariffs imposed by the United States on goods from that country, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

The president typically ties his tariffs to trade policy, but he hit Brazilian products with the highest rate of any country's goods largely due to politics.
