Trump issues threats again. On July 6 local time, the former US president claimed on his "Truth" social platform: "Any country that aligns with the anti-US policies of the BRICS will be subject to an additional 10% tariff, with no exceptions."
The tariff increase measures announced by Trump previously will expire on July 9. In recent days, high-ranking officials from Trump to the US Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce have been intensively issuing warning messages, continuously sending strong signals before the expiration of the tariff policy. The Trump administration is trying to force more countries to move closer to the US in economic and trade relations through such extreme pressure tactics, yielding to its coercion and temptation.
