U.S. Lawmakers Urge Action Against Brazil's Digital Regulations Targeting American Firms
Congressman Adrian Smith, along with Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and 18 other Republican colleagues, has sent a letter to the Trump Administration urging action against Brazil's proposed digital regulations. The lawmakers express concern over Brazil's Fair Competition Act for Digital Markets, which they argue unfairly targets American digital companies by imposing stringent regulatory requirements. The letter highlights potential negative impacts on U.S. firms, including forced changes to business models and the relinquishment of intellectual property. The lawmakers call for the U.S. Trade Representative to address these issues to protect American competitiveness.
