Trump: The US will impose a 10% tariff on countries that support the BRICS
US President Trump stated that any country supporting the BRICS' "anti-US" policies will be subject to an additional 10% trade tariff.
Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social": "Any country supporting the BRICS' anti-US policies will be subject to an additional 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions in this policy."
On July 6 local time, the 17th BRICS Leaders' Summit issued the Rio de Janeiro Declaration, with the theme of "Strengthening cooperation among the Global South and promoting a more inclusive and sustainable global governance."
The declaration pointed out that the number of global trade restrictions is increasing, whether through indiscriminate increases in tariffs and non-tariff measures or protectionism under the guise of environmental goals, which may further weaken global trade, disrupt global supply chains, bring uncertainty to international economic and trade activities, and affect the prospects for global economic development. The BRICS countries condemned all unilateral coercive measures that violate international law and opposed any unilateral sanctions not authorized by the UN Security Council.
