#TrumpTariffs Trump threatens extra 10% tariff on nations that side with Brics.

US President Donald Trump says countries that side with the policies of the Brics alliance that go against US interests will be hit with an extra 10% tariff.

Trump has long criticised Brics - an alliance designed to boost member nations' standing on the international stage to challenge the US and Western Europe.

"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," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday.

His comments came after Brics members criticised US tariff policies as well as proposing reforms to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and how major currencies are valued.
