His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Does it feel like Trump just learned the word “tariff” a couple weeks ago or is that just me?

No he definitely learned it years ago, but he’s a simple boy, he can’t hold too many concepts in his head. It’s mostly just rape, fraud, and now tariffs

I’m sure this will help drive BRICS closer together as they feel attacked by America. Allowing Russia to poach powerful allies away from the US.
Trump must be Putins greatest dream.

Yeah, Trump ending the dollar as the reserve currency would be a fitting legacy.

Man the rest of the world should just cut the US out of trading completely and become more self sufficient. This shit is way beyond ridiculous.
Man’s really out here acting like tariffs are a cheat to fix everything. This whole move screams “short term flex, long term mess.” BRICS isn’t gonna back down just because Trump said so on Truth Social.

Only 100%? How about billion bazillion percent instead Donald? And make them buy you a pony too while you’re at it, that’ll show’em!

Oh no, these countries wanna be less dependent on the US? Better try and bully them with what little leverage we got left, great plan. Honestly, if he actually does it and it screws over the economy, maybe people will finally wake up and do something about him.
