U.S. President Donald Trump said he might increase U.S. tariffs on countries that align with the policies of BRICS, after the bloc of emerging markets criticized the "indiscriminate rising of tariffs and non-tariff measures, or protectionism under the guise of environmental objectives."
The U.S. president said on social media on Monday that "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." He did not provide more details or specify which policies he had in mind.
