Two months of US trade policy: the EU–US deal vote, the 'forced labour' tariffs, the appeal ruling, then July's pivot to new duties under a different legal authority. What touches an exporter, dated and sourced.
Prior context — outside delfee's monitoring window, from references cited in the coverage
After years of resistance, Brasília moves closer to Beijing in response to the US tariffs. A durable reorientation of flows: tariff risk becomes market-reallocation risk.
As the 'bridge' duties expire, Washington imposes replacement tariffs on its biggest partners using a different legal authority. The period's coverage peak — and the point where the applicable duty level actually changes.
Brasília announces reciprocal duties after its exports are targeted. The sequence shifts from unilateral threats to a retaliation cycle — the scenario that widens risk beyond the targeted markets alone.
Prime Minister Carney calls the new tariffs a direct violation of the trade agreement; Ottawa says it is weighing all options. Coverage notes the impact on US agricultural regions.
Trump threatens Canada with new duties citing wildfire smoke, while orange juice is excluded from the Brazil tariffs. A sharp illustration of product-by-product inclusion and exemption risk.
China warns the US over the forced-labour tariffs while Brazilian business bodies press for a deal before the 15 July deadline. Deadlines become exporters' real calendar.
MEPs pass the deal ahead of the US deadline — 'Europe bows to pressure while warning of future chaos', per the coverage. It stabilises the framework for EU exporters without closing the subject.
An appeals court allows the 10% global tariff to stand for now. The legal basis remains contested — one to watch for anyone whose pricing depends on the duty level.
Washington proposes new forced-labour-linked duties targeting several Southeast Asian economies; Brussels and Beijing reject the allegations. First signal that the transatlantic deal does not extinguish tariff risk for supply chains.

Methodology — Events detected continuously across thousands of sources (GDELT + press feeds), grouped into deduplicated situations. Corroboration counts independent originators: syndicated copies of one wire story are merged, so the figure shown is not a raw outlet count. The intensity curve measures our own ingestion on this topic.
