South Africa and Brazil paused their trade conflicts to counter US tariffs by advancing economic cooperation in trade, critical minerals, manufacturing, technology, and health sectors. Both countries seek to diversify trade partnerships, boost bilateral trade beyond commodities, and increase local production capacity in critical areas like vaccines and clean energy minerals.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You now face a trade environment where US tariffs have pushed South Africa and Brazil into a pact boosting local production and tech cooperation. Look to partner with them for supply in critical minerals and health technologies to bypass tariff risks.
