Brics was attack on dollar: Trump claims tariffs made nations drop out of bloc

Attacking BRICS member nations, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that Washington will impose tariffs, claiming the group’s growing economic influence represents “an attack on the dollar.”

“I’m very strong on the dollar, and anybody that wants to deal in dollars, they have an advantage over people that aren’t… anybody that wants to be in BRICS, that’s fine, but we’re going to put tariffs on your nation… BRICS was an attack on the dollar,” Trump said during a meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House.

The US President doubled down on his decision to levy tariffs on BRICS nations, particularly India, and described the bloc as “anti the United States.”
