Kremlin Says BRICS Not Directed 'Against' Third Countries, After Trump Tariff Threat

BRAZIL, JUL 7 – China defends BRICS as a platform for cooperation amid US threats of a 10% tariff on countries supporting the bloc's policies, emphasizing openness and multilateral diplomacy.

  • On July 7, US President Donald Trump announced plans to apply an extra 10% tariff on nations supporting BRICS’ anti-American stance and indicated he would initiate the tariff notification process that day.
  • This development came after the recent BRICS meeting held in Brazil in 2025, during which the member countries jointly denounced the US-Israeli military actions against Iranian nuclear and military sites, while the group emphasized its role as a cooperative platform rather than one seeking conflict.
  • China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning emphasized that BRICS promotes openness, inclusiveness, and mutually beneficial collaboration, and it does not single out any nation nor engage in factional disputes.
  • Trump warned of punitive tariffs on up to 15 countries, vowing no exceptions and claiming countries supporting BRICS policies should expect economic consequences, while China called trade wars unwinnable.
  • The US tariff threats heightened global trade tensions and reflected growing friction between the US and the expanding BRICS group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, and recent new members.
