Trump Targets BRICS Allies With New Tariffs

News summary

President Donald Trump announced that any country aligning with the 'anti-American policies' of the BRICS bloc will face a non-negotiable 10% tariff, though he did not specify the criteria for such alignment. This announcement follows the BRICS summit in Brazil, where the expanded 11-nation group criticized unilateral tariffs and condemned terrorism. Trump stated that letters will be sent to about 15 countries warning of higher tariffs if trade agreements are not reached by early August. The move comes as the suspension on previous US tariffs nears its end and signals heightened trade tensions. The BRICS bloc, representing nearly half the world's population, continues to advocate for reforms in global governance and opposes perceived Western economic dominance. These developments add to concerns over escalating global trade friction and the impact on US businesses.
