U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that BRICS nations will soon face a 10% tariff. The move was revealed during a meeting with cabinet officials at the White House, signaling a significant turn in trade policy.

The announcement adds a new layer of complexity to the United States' trade relations with BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Trump's administration has been actively reshaping trade alliances and policies, with tariffs being a primary tool in negotiating better deals for the U.S.

This development is a continuation of the President's strategy to address trade imbalances. However, the implications of this tariff imposition on both U.S. and BRICS economies remain to be seen.
