US President Donald Trump’s government does not intend to impose a 10% duty on the BRICS developing teams immediately, but will proceed if some of the Member States adopt “anti -American” policies, according to a source.

Late Sunday night, Trump announced that he would impose additional 10% tariffs on any country aligned with the so -called “anti -American policies”. Members of the BRICS team have categorically denied that they were turning against the US.

“We set boundaries. If decisions that are anti -American are taken, then the duties will be charged, ”said the source that asked not to be named because it is not allowed to talk about this issue.

Trump’s announcement on the Truth Social platform was made at a time when India, Indonesia and other BRICS Group countries are negotiating trade agreements with Washington.

Brazilian President Luis Inasio Lula da Silva commented that BRICS does not intend to “offend anyone” by assuring that “no one” at the team’s summit had discussed Washington’s threats. He commented, however, that it is “not serious” that the president of a country such as the US threatening the world by duties through posts on social networking platforms.

“If the US imposes duties, other countries have the right to do the same,” he added.

Lula rejects any “intervention” on internal issues

Brazilian President Luis Inasio Lula da Silva today rejected any “intervention” in his country’s domestic affairs, following comments made by US counterpart Donald Trump in favor of Zaich Bolsonaru, who is being tried.

“We are a sovereign state. We do not accept intervention or guardianship from anyone, “the Brazilian president underlined.

Earlier, Trump had posted a comment on the Truth Social platform to defend Bolsonaru, arguing that his former ally was a victim of “witch hunting”.

The 70 -year -old Bolsonaru – who maintained friendly ties with Trump in the interval of the two men in power – is being tried in Brazilus, who was led by a “criminal organization” who conspired to keep him in the presidency despite his election defeat by his 20th election.

“The only trial that should happen is a trial from Brazilian voters – is called elections. Let Bolsonaru quiet! “Trump emphasized in his post on Truth Social.
