U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. would "pretty soon" charge a 10% tariff on imports from BRICS countries, drawing another complaint from Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva,

In a climate of escalating global trade tensions, President Donald Trump's tariff strategy has sparked varied reactions worldwide, including a direct challenge from the BRICS bloc.

Trump also said he doesn’t see BRICS as a serious threat but believes the group is trying to weaken the U.S. dollar so another country can replace it as the global standard.
