”There will be no exceptions from this policy”, Trump writes further on Truth Social.

It is unclear what the president means with his statement.

The eleven countries in the so-called Brics group – which among other things consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – are divided on many issues but during a summit over the weekend they formulated, among other things, a joint standpoint in the form of criticism against the USA's import tariffs.

Trump says further that the USA will begin sending letters with information about new tariff rates to different countries starting at 18 Swedish time on Monday.
