US President Donald Trump on Wednesday detailed his tariff strategy against Brics , claiming the bloc was “against the dollar” and saying countries were “dropping out.” “I told anybody who wants to be in Brics, that's fine, but we're going to put tariffs on your nation,” Trump said. “Everybody dropped out. They're all dropping out of Brics. Brics was an attack on the dollar and I said, you want to play that game, I'm going to put tariffs on all of your products coming into the US. They said, like I said, we're dropping out of Brics...They don't even talk about it anymore.” Just days earlier, India had urged Brics nations to uphold the multilateral trading system and adhere to international law - a move seen as a pushback against the protectionist measures promoted by Trump’
