Russians Respond to Trump’s Threat Against BRICS

Kremlin Spokesperson Responds ​to U.S.President’s Threats Against BRICS and Aligned Nations, Following China’s Reaction

Dmitry Peskov, ⁢the Kremlin spokesperson, addressed Donald Trump’s threatening⁣ remarks about imposing additional tariffs on countries supporting BRICS policies, stating that the alliance does not target any third-party⁤ nations. The‍ comments‍ were​ reported by webangah ‌News ⁣Agency, citing TASS.

Peskov said: “We have seen and heard such statements,but what matters is that ‌BRICS unites countries with shared approaches and worldviews-this is what makes it unique.” He emphasized: “Cooperation within BRICS has⁤ never been and will never be directed against third​ countries.”

Trump ⁣previously posted on his social‌ media platform Truth Social: “Any country aligning ⁢with BRICS’ ⁢anti-American policies will face a⁢ 10% additional tariff. There will be ‍no exceptions to this policy.”

Earlier, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson​ Mao Ning responded to Trump’s threat by stating: ‍”BRICS is an critically important platform ⁢for⁣ cooperation among emerging markets in ‌developing countries.⁢ it promotes ⁣open, inclusive, and mutually beneficial collaboration-not confrontation-and targets ‍no nation.” She added: “China has ​repeatedly clarified its stance on U.S. ‌tariff hikes. Trade wars have no winners, and protectionism leads nowhere.”

In⁣ April this⁤ year, Trump introduced new⁤ tariffs on imports from 185 countries. The base rate for⁢ all imported goods was set at 10%, with significantly higher rates for specific nations-including China⁢ (34%), Vietnam (46%), and the EU ​(20%).
