Joesley Batista, executive at JBS, met with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to negotiate a reduction in import tariffs on Brazilian beef. The meeting was revealed by the newspaper The Wall Street Journal.
The proposal presented by Batista seeks to facilitate access of Brazilian beef to the American market, making the product more competitive against competitors from other countries.
The negotiation takes place at a time when trade relations between Brazil and the United States are under review, especially in the agricultural sector, which is one of the areas of mutual interest between the two countries.
With this articulation, JBS is trying to expand its operations in the international market, taking advantage of the political proximity between the company's executives and the Trump administration to obtain trade advantages.
