Trump Says BRICS-Aligned Countries to Face Additional 10% Tariffs
- On July 7, President Donald Trump announced the delivery of U.S. tariff letters or deals to various countries amid ongoing trade tensions.
- This action follows the upcoming expiration of a 90-day pause on country-specific tariffs set for August 1 and reflects pressure to finalize trade agreements.
- The announcement came amid the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, where leaders condemned U.S. tariff policies and warned that rising tariffs threaten global trade.

- The imminent tariffs and trade deals suggest escalating tensions that may impact global economic output, as BRICS members represent 40 percent of the world economy and over half its population.
