Trump threatens 10% tariff on BRICS-aligned countries

President Trump warned of a 10% tariff on countries supporting BRICS-aligned policies, calling them anti-American. Russian diplomat Sergey Ryabkov said the group's growth highlights Western political egotism.

AhlulBayt News Agency: US President Donald Trump has warned that a 10% additional tariff will be imposed on countries supporting policies associated with the BRICS group.

Posting on the Truth Social platform, Trump stated, “Any country aligning themselves with the anti-American policies of BRICS will be charged an additional 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy.”

In June, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, who is also Russia’s Sherpa to BRICS, told the TASS Analytical Center that BRICS developments have not only frustrated the US president but also exposed the West’s self-centered approach to foreign policy.

Brazil is currently hosting the 17th BRICS Summit, with agenda topics including healthcare, trade, investment, finance, climate change, artificial intelligence governance, and international peace and security.
