# US Supreme Court tariff ruling was really important for Brazil, says VP Alckmin

BRASILIA, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Brazil’s Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin said on Friday the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs was really important for the South American country, as it removed levies specifically targeting the nation.

Speaking at a press conference, Alckmin, who also serves as Brazil’s development, industry and trade minister, called for caution amid upcoming developments from the ruling and said the country intends to keep negotiating trade and non-trade issues with Washington.
