BRASILIA, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Brazil’s Foreign Ministry has ordered government trade body Camex to start analyzing whether a local reciprocity law could be used against the United States, two sources from the ministry said on Thursday.

The law, passed earlier this year by Brazil’s Congress, establishes a legal framework for Brazil to respond to potential unilateral trade measures targeting its goods and services, including countermeasures such as tariffs.
