As US President Donald Trump wages a trade war across the globe, a new target has come into his line of fire: the BRICS group of emerging major economies.

“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.

President Trump's proposed 100% tariff on BRICS nations has stirred global controversy. Labeling the group as 'anti-American,' Trump faces backlash from BRICS leaders, who defend their vision of a multipolar world.
