Trump Warns 10% Tariff for BRICS-Aligned Countries

Former US President Donald Trump has announced that any country aligning itself with the "anti-American policies" of BRICS will face an additional 10% tariff.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “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!”
He did not elaborate on what constitutes “anti-American policies” in the context of BRICS.
