US President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned that BRICS nations, including India, could face a 10 percent tariff, accusing the group of working to undermine the United States and weaken the US dollar.
He claimed BRICS was created to harm US interests and said any member country would be subject to the tariff. “If they want to play their game, I can play mine,” he said, as quoted by Firstpost.
Trump dismissed the bloc as “not a serious threat,” claiming it had largely broken apart. He warned that losing the dollar’s global dominance would be like “losing a major world war.”
