US President Donald Trump has warned that countries which side with the policies of the Brics alliance that go against US interests will be hit with an extra 10% tariff, BBC reports. Trump has long criticised Brics, an organisation whose members include China, Russia and India, which was designed to boost countries' international standing and challenge the US and western Europe. Any country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy, Trump wrote on social media. A deadline for countries to agree a tariff deal with the US had been set for July 9 but US officials now say they will begin on August 1. Read the full report here.
