US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose additional tariffs on any country affiliated with the BRICS+ group of emerging economies.

Trump made the threat early on 7 July in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10 percent Tariff,” the US president said.

“There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.

Trump’s statement coincided with an ongoing BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

On Sunday, the bloc made a declaration condemning the rise in US tariffs in an indirect swipe at Washington, expressing “serious concerns.”
