Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika Handelsbilanzsaldo

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that any country aligning with the "anti-American policies" of the BRICS bloc will face an additional 10% tariff. “There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump posted on Truth Social. He did not elaborate on what specific "anti-American policies" he was referring to. The BRICS group—originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, and China—held its first summit in 2009, later expanding to include South Africa. In 2023, the bloc welcomed Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Indonesia as new members. Trump also confirmed that “reciprocal” tariffs—first announced in April—will take effect on August 1 for countries that have not reached a trade deal with the U.S.
