WASHINGTON - The Trump administration will not immediately impose a new 10% tariff against members of the developing nation BRICS bloc, but will proceed if countries take so-called \"anti-American\" policy actions,

Any country aligning themselves with the anti-American policies of BRICS will be charged an additional 10% tariff."

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to add an additional 10 percent tariff to any country aligned with BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and then later threatened 25 percent tariffs as of 1 August on China, South Korea, and Japan, as his “liberation day” tariff pause is poised to expire on 9 July.
