President Donald Trump threatened to add a 10% tariff rate on BRICS-aligned countries. The term first applied to 4 countries but the group expanded.

He announced on social media that any nation backing what he described as “anti-American policies of the BRICS” group would be subject to this additional charge, with no exceptions.
