Russian State News Agency and RIA Novosti reported that, in response to US President Trump's tariff threats towards the BRICS countries, Russian President's press secretary Peskov made a statement on the local time of the 7th.

Peskov said, "The uniqueness of the BRICS cooperation mechanism lies in the fact that it is an alliance of countries that share common ideals and have the same world view on the way of cooperation from their own interests. Cooperation within the framework of the BRICS mechanism has never, and will never target any third country."

Earlier that day, US President Trump posted on social media that he would impose a 10% tariff on any country that supports the BRICS countries' "anti-US" policies.
