And, pray tell, what are these horrible, indefensible, "burdens"?

Trump administration proposes 25% tariff on Brazilian goods over unfair trade practices

The Office of the United States Trade Representative has proposed 25% tariffs on Brazilian goods under Section 301, determining that the South American nation had engaged in practices that “are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.”

Some of these practices also include anti-corruption enforcement, intellectual property protection, ethanol market access, and illegal deforestation, according to the release from the U.S. Trade Representative.

I'm not sure if this is poorly worded, or not. Sounds like the US Trade Office is complaining Brazilian protections against corruption and theft of intellectual property are too strict?
