U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. would "pretty soon" charge a 10% tariff on imports from BRICS countries, drawing another complaint from Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva,

“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,” Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post. He did not elaborate, nor did he say what BRICS policies he was referring to.

US President Donald Trump has issued a warning that countries supporting BRICS policies that are in conflict with American interests will face an extra 10% tariff. He announced on social media that any nation backing what he described as “anti-American policies of the BRICS” group would be subject to this additional charge, with no exceptions.
