SAO PAULO, July 15 (Reuters) - The 50% tariff that U.S.

President Donald Trump plans to impose on Brazilian exports

starting in August could have an impact on the revenues of

planemaker Embraer ( ERJ ) similar to that of the COVID

pandemic, its CEO said on Tuesday.

Chief Executive Francisco Gomes Neto told reporters that the

tariffs could trigger canceled orders, deferred deliveries,

lower investments and possible job cuts. He said a 50% tariff

would be essentially a trade embargo on commercial jets, making

exports to U.S. airlines "unfeasible."
