Trump said that all members of the BRICS have withdrawn, triggering doubts from the outside world.

US President Trump said today (Beijing Time October 15): "Whoever wants to join the BRICS is fine, but we will impose tariffs on your country. Everyone has left. They have all left the BRICS. They no longer mention the BRICS."

[Clever] Comment: This is another typical example of "big talk diplomacy" by Trump. The BRICS mechanism is increasingly attractive, with many countries queuing up to apply for membership. Where did the idea of "everyone leaving" and "no longer mentioning" come from? Trump often uses the threat of tariffs, but ignores the trend of international cooperation. Relying on intimidation to maintain hegemony only reveals his strategic anxiety. The world is no longer dictated by the United States alone. Such a showy display is nothing more than a ridiculous performance to cover up inner helplessness. Additionally, does Trump even know which countries are in the BRICS? Does he mistakenly think Spain is one of them?
