Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva criticized U.S. President Donald Trump in Rio de Janeiro over the threats of tariffs on BRICS countries.⁣ ⁣ Trump has threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on any country aligning with what he called 'anti-American policies' of the BRICS bloc.⁣ ⁣ "He needs to understand that the world has changed. We don’t want an emperor. We are sovereign nations. And if he thinks he can impose tariffs, well, other countries also have the right to do the same," Lula said during the final press conference of the BRICS 2025 Heads of State Summit.⁣ ⁣ #brics #brazil #trump #tariffs⁣
