Trump Tariff: After the BRICS 2025 conference held in Brazil, the geopolitical atmosphere has been heated. US President Donald Trump has warned the BRICS countries of adopting “anti -America policies” to impose an additional 10% tariff on 12 countries. China has reacted strongly to this. China has clearly stated that the BRICS group does not want conflict, but it is wrong to use tariffs as political pressure.

China’s US two
During the regular press briefing in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said, there is no victory in the tariff and trade war. Protectionism is not the way forward. China criticized the US using tariffs as a political weapon and said that this strategy would not be beneficial for anyone.

Trump’s warning
Trump has spoken of giving economic punishment to those countries which are standing with anti-American policies of BRICS. Aerial attacks on Iran’s military and nuclear bases by the US and Israel at the BRICS conference were called “illegal”. This move of BRICS is considered to be the hardest collective condemnation ever on Western military action. Trump said that countries supporting such proposals should be ready to suffer economic consequences.

Concern over Iran and Gaza, condemnation of terrorism
Apart from Iran’s issue, the Gaza war was also discussed in the conference. BRICS countries raised concerns over unilateral military actions and emphasized the need for peace. At the same time, the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, India was also strongly condemned. BRICs demanded strict action on cross -border terrorism and terror financeing networks.

Stress grows behind Trump’s threat
Trump said that he has prepared tariff notices for 12 countries which have been signed and ready. These letters will be issued at 12 noon (EST) on Monday afternoon. This threat has come at a time when the temporary ban on the new policy of tariff in the US ends on 9 July. Earlier on April 2, Trump had announced to increase the tariff on all business partner countries, causing diplomatic disputes around the world.
