The levies will be imposed "pretty soon," the US president has said
US President Donald Trump has threatened levies on BRICS nations and those aligned with them, saying members of the economic bloc could pay an additional 10% tariff charge.
Trump has repeatedly criticized BRICS and recently escalated his rhetoric, claiming he is ready for tariffs not only on its members but also on any country that "aligns itself" with the bloc, which he accuses of embracing "anti-American policies."
Asked whether the tariffs would take effect immediately, Trump said they would kick in "pretty soon."
