Trump Wants Tariffs On BRICS! 🇧🇷 🇷🇺 🇮🇳 🇨🇳 🇿🇦

A very stable genius.

President Donald J. Trump has threatened American citizens, immigrants, foreign students, Democratic leaders, Republican lawmakers, Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Panama, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Spain, China, Russia, Brazil, India, Jordan, South Africa, Cuba and the junk food media.

Thanks to Trump and former president Joe Biden, the U.S. and its credibility are in major decline. Therefore several countries are considering moving away from the U.S. dollar. 

The world wants to hold Israel accountable for its actions in the Middle East.

The United Nations has voted numerous times to punish, sanction and hold the apartheid ethnostate accountable. The International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, the World Health Organization and Amnesty International want to hold Israel accountable.

The Biden administration blocked every attempt to hold Israel accountable.

The Trump administration past and present blocked every attempt to hold Israel accountable.

Denmark warns there could be a 500% tariff increase if Trump threatens them and Greenland. They are the primary shippers of Ozempic, a popular diabetes and weight loss drug.

Canada has offered assistance when it came to the plane crash on the Potamac River, the wildfires in California and the shipment of weapons to Israel at behest of the United States. Trump has caused such friction by calling for annexing Canada into the United States. He wants to ship immigrants with criminal history to Canada. Trump and outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have a cordial but frosty relationship. Canada warns the U.S. that if Trump imposes tarrifs on the country, it could affect Americans who travel, purchase or use natural resources from the neighbor to the north.

Trump calling for the Gulf of Mexico to be renamed to the Gulf of America. He is trying to ship immigrants who were massively deported to the Global South. 

Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Haiti, Venezuela, Panama and Brazil warn the U.S. that they are planning to abandon the U.S. dollar and avoid assistance when the Americans declare war on countries.

Biden’s ban on TikTok opened the door to its competitor RedNote. 

China-based RedNote has opened up millions of Americans to openness. Some Americans are starting to question why the U.S. is no longer reliable in freedom.

RedNote has made Americans more aware of other countries and how they operate. Some are no longer seeing China, Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Russia as adversaries.

Trump’s executive order on combating antisemitism has only made Israel and the United States less credible. Because of the specific order being addressed to protect Jewish college students, Trump backed DEI. 

Trump practically giving Jewish Americans more privilege than other Americans.

Trump is showing signs of cognitive decline.

Trump has apparently confused Spain for a member of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, causing some head-scratching and jitters over possible tariffs in Madrid.

Spain is not in BRICS, whose initials stand for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Spain is a member of NATO, along with the U.S., and of the European Union.

Trump erroneously said Spain was in BRICS when a journalist asked him about NATO countries like Spain which don’t meet the NATO minimum of spending 2% of economic output on defense. Spain ranked last in the 32-nation military alliance, estimated to spend 1.28% on defense last year.

Trump started his answer by saying “Spain is very low,” referring to its defense expenditures, but quickly veered into speaking about the BRICS.

“They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out,” he told the reporter from the presidential desk in the Oval Office.

Trump repeated his threat to put costly tariffs on BRICS, saying “we are going to put at least a 100% tariff on the business they do with the United States,” part of his economic plans that would overturn decades of free trade consensus.

Spanish Education Minister Pilar Alegría, who acts as a spokeswoman for the government, said she wasn’t sure why Trump made the comment.

“I don’t know if the affirmation made by President Trump was the result of a mix-up or not, but I can confirm that Spain is not in BRICS,” Alegría told reporters Tuesday.

Spain has been a committed member of NATO for the past four decades, she added, and the Spanish government considers the U.S. “a natural ally.”

Spain is one of eight countries that failed to meet NATO’s 2% spending target last year. Trump has said he wants NATO members to reach 5% spending on defense.
