Donald Trump has always been notorious for making false claims, such as his frequent claim to have stopped the India-Pakistan conflict in May. Just days before Trump's claim, India had urged BRICS countries to uphold the multilateral trading system and adhere to international law.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has made a significant false claim about BRICS. Trump has blatantly claimed that his tariff threats are causing BRICS to split apart and that member countries are fleeing. The reality is that BRICS is growing stronger, and just last month, during the United Nations meeting in New York, the foreign ministers of the BRICS countries met. Trump lied, claiming that "every country is leaving BRICS. No one is even talking about it. BRICS was an attack on the dollar, and I threatened to impose tariffs on all those countries."

On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump outlined his tariff strategy against BRICS, claiming that the group is "against the dollar" and that member countries are "leaving." Trump said, "I told everyone who wants to join BRICS, it's okay, but we will impose tariffs on your country." He further said, "After that everyone left. They are all leaving BRICS. BRICS was an attack on the dollar and I said, if you want to play this game, I will put tariffs on all your products coming into America. To which they said, like I said, we are leaving BRICS... Now they don't even talk about it."

Donald Trump's false claim about BRICS
Donald Trump has always been notorious for making false claims, such as his repeated claims of preventing the India-Pakistan conflict in May. Just days before Trump's claim, India had urged BRICS countries to maintain the multilateral trading system and adhere to international law. This move by India is being seen as a reaction against the protectionist measures promoted by Trump's MAGA-driven America. This appeal risks creating a new conflict with Donald Trump. Let us tell you that Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked BRICS and termed it a challenge to American dominance.

BRICS now has ten full member countries, including Brazil, Russia, India, and China, and is steadily growing stronger. Its member countries include Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia, while the ten other partner countries include Belarus, Bolivia, and Malaysia. Ten other countries, including Pakistan and Sri Lanka, have applied for BRICS membership. This rapid expansion of BRICS has shocked Donald Trump, who has described it as a major and direct threat to the global strength of the dollar. Although New Delhi has clarified that it does not support de-dollarization, Trump has issued a new warning that BRICS countries will face 100 percent tariffs if they continue on this path.
