I'm curious how long Republicans in congress will take this, they have to be contemplating their life choices at this point.

Brazilian tariffs on other countries are also r-slurred, they serve no purpose other than keeping uncompetitive rent-seeking industrialists afloat.

tariffs are bad long term and when they're broad (latin america, US). it's even worse in the US because it's an advanced economy so they don't even have brazil's excuse that they're poor and r-slurred.
targeted temporary
tariffs are good for developing countries trying to build 
up certain industries. east asia is a good example of this.

For sure, China in particular has and will continue dump product without any real interest in making money just bully people out of the market
In cases like that, it is fairly reasonable to protect domestic production.

Cambodia still does a lot of clothing manufacturing, albeit less than Bangladesh and Vietnam. Though that's mostly because it's a much less populous country; something like 5% of the population works in clothing manufacturing, not even counting the people involved in shipping, sales and distribution.
Admittedly, the main corporations they manufacture for are based out of East Asia (mostly China, obviously), but they do some for western companies as well.

My wild tinfoil guess is that Bolsonaro and co convinced Trump to play it easy as Lula's popularity is crashing down.
The Presidential election is next year so this won't ruin the rightoid momentum.
