A BRAZILIAN brothel has slapped a steamy 50 per cent tax on its American customers in response to Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs.

Cabare Thatys Drinks, a sex bar located in Fortaleza, introduced a “Trump Tariff” as a retaliatory measure, significantly increasing the cost of a “full service” night.

It came just after the US president imposed a punishing 50 per cent import duty on all Brazilian goods last Wednesday.

This additional charge surfaced on a manual receipt given to an anonymous American customer, who faced an extra £14.01 on top of the usual £33.35 for a “Programa” — a local term for full service.

With extras including five beers and a condom, the final bill totalled £55.36.

The move has gone viral on social media, with the bill racking up nearly 150,000 retweets within hours of being posted on Friday.

Mocking the policy, Brazilian political group Youth for Democracy said: “Retaliation to the US has already begun in Fortaleza!

“A more patriotic establishment than Congress!”

One user defended the brothel’s bold pricing, adding: “I will defend the establishment, it is all within the consumer law.

“And within the law of reciprocity!”

The cheeky tax comes amid an escalating global trade row ignited by Trump’s surprise tariffs.

A few days prior, the President had enforced 50 percent tariffs on Brazilian copper and other exports, referencing “national security” issues and Brazil’s handling of a legal case involving former president Jair Bolsonaro.

Despite the US running a trade surplus with Brazil, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett defended the move, saying it was part of a broader plan to “onshore production” and reduce trade dependence in case of a “national emergency.”

But Trump hasn’t stopped at Brazil, which is America’s second largest Latin American trading partner.

He’s also slammed the EU and Mexico with fresh tariffs — 30 per cent on imports starting August — triggering outrage across Western capitals.

European Parliament trade chief Bernd Lange branded the move “brazen and disrespectful,” calling it “a slap in the face.”

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned the tariffs would “disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains,” and said countermeasures were being prepared.

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni’s office said in a statement: “We trust in the goodwill of all players in the field in order to reach a fair agreement that can strengthen the West as a whole, given that – particularly in the current scenario – it would make no sense to trigger a trade clash between the two sides of the Atlantic.

“It is now crucial to remain focused on the negotiations, avoiding polarisations that would make reaching an agreement more complex.”

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, meanwhile, urged diplomacy, saying she hoped to negotiate a deal before the tariffs hit.

Trump’s fiery tariff strategy has become a cornerstone of his presidency redux, targeting even long-time allies like Canada, Japan, and South Korea.

His administration argues the tariffs will boost U.S. manufacturing, protect supply chains, and strengthen the economy.
