Kalshi 28%

4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi prices 28% on Trump imposing tariffs on additional sectors in 2026, even after a concrete 25% Brazil tariff announcement.
The Brazil tariff targets specific imports rather than a broad new sector, which may explain why the sector-expansion contract holds below 30%.
The White House cited unfair trade practices as the trigger, a framework that could apply to other trading partners, though markets do not yet price that extension as likely.
Kalshi resolves via White House official announcement; the contract language specifies sectors, so the Brazil action's scope relative to sector definitions is the key resolution edge case.
