Trump Says BRICS-Aligned Countries to Face Additional 10% Tariffs
- On Monday, July 7, President Donald Trump began sending tariff letters or trade deals to various countries, warning them of additional levies.
- This action follows Trump's April 2 announcement of sweeping 10% tariffs and his threat of extra tariffs on countries siding with the BRICS bloc, amid the bloc's recent summit in Rio de Janeiro.
- The letters notify partners that unilateral tariffs or trade deals will start August 1 unless agreements prevent tariffs from snapping back to high levels set in April.
- Trump stated that countries supporting BRICS' stance against the U.S. would face an extra 10% tariff and cautioned that attempts to replace the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency could result in tariffs doubling to 100%.
- This move pressures trading partners amid stalled talks with major economies like the EU, India, and China, signaling escalated trade tensions and firm U.S. opposition to BRICS policies.
