"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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump posted on Truth Social.
BRICS is an intergovernmental organisation of 10 countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. A leaders' summit is underway in Brazil's Rio De Janerio.
The group of developing nations are poised to adopt a position at odds with Trump on trade tariffs, conflict in the Middle East and global arms spending.
