#TrumpTariffs

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, declared on Sunday that countries supporting the "anti-American policies" of BRICS will be subject to an additional 10% tariff.

Trump wrote about this in a post on the platform Truth Social, reported the "European Truth".

His comment came after BRICS members criticized his tariff policy as well as the proposed reforms of the International Monetary Fund.

"Any country that aligns itself with the anti-American policies of BRICS will be subject to an additional 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you very much for your interest in this matter!", – wrote Trump.

Trump has long criticized BRICS – an alliance created to strengthen the positions of its member countries on the international stage and counter the United States and Western Europe.

In December 2024, Trump had already threatened to impose tariffs on BRICS countries, stating that "we intend to impose at least a 100 percent tariff on the business they conduct with the United States."
