The United States president has vowed to implement higher tariffs on BRICS nations, which are collectively working to challenge American hegemony. This move comes as the China-backed BRICS bloc continues to make limited progress in expanding its membership, despite ongoing efforts to attract new countries. While several nations have expressed interest in joining, the initiative has not yet achieved significant breakthroughs.
The administration’s threat of increased tariffs signals a growing economic and strategic competition between the US and the BRICS alliance. Analysts suggest that this could lead to further trade tensions and reshape global economic dynamics. Meanwhile, the BRICS nations are reportedly focusing on strengthening their economic cooperation and exploring alternative trade routes that reduce dependency on Western markets.
