The president of the United States, Donald Trump, warned this Sunday that he could put an additional 10 % tariff to the countries that align with the BRICS, whose leaders maintain a meeting in Rio de Janeiro, from where they avoided colliding frontally with the president although always present between lines. “Any country that is aligned with the anti -American policies of the BRICs must pay an additional 10%tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy,” Trump published today in Truth Social. The BRICS, formed by eleven global southern countries and led by China and Russia, celebrated its XVII Meeting of Heads of State and Government at the Museum of Modern Art of Rio, under a strong security device and marked by the absences of the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, and the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who participated virtually. The first of the two days of the summit closed with a final statement of 126 articles that addresses the commercial war of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, the climb of violence in the Middle East and the “urgent” reform of the UN, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
