Trump Threatens 10% Tariff for ‘Anti-American’ BRICS Policies
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning against the BRICS group of nations, threatening a 10% tariff on goods from member countries if he returns to office. Trump criticized the bloc—which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—for what he called “anti-American” trade and geopolitical policies.

His remarks come as BRICS countries push for a more multipolar world order, including using alternatives to the U.S. dollar in trade and deepening economic cooperation among themselves. Trump argued that such moves undermine U.S. interests and justified his proposed tariff as a protective measure for American industries.
The threat of new tariffs has sparked concerns about a possible return to global trade tensions similar to those seen during Trump’s first term, when tariff wars with China and others disrupted markets and supply chains.
Analysts warn that if implemented, the 10% tariff could affect global trade flows, raise prices, and trigger retaliation from BRICS nations, further straining international relations.
