Os efeitos das tarifas de importação de Trump em 2025 sobre o desenvolvimento regional do Rio Grande do Sul.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the tariff policy imposed by USA President Donald Trump in 2025 and present its effects on the regional development of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The article contextualizes the concepts of regional economic development and international trade, aiming to understand how a policy of another actor in the international system can directly or indirectly affect the economy of a country's region. The methodology is based on a literature review, through the reading of documents, articles, and news items on the most recent events concerning the topic. It also seeks to understand the current scenario based on export and employment data from the most affected areas, as well as the Brazilian scenario, comparing the results to possible means of mitigating the negative impacts on the region. It was concluded that the development of the Rio Grande do Sul region is largely affected by tariffs on its economy, its population, and its territory, and that although a measure is implemented in another nation, it still has an influence on the regions of different countries and their economies.
