China stated that BRICS is not a bloc for confrontation or targeting any country, reacting to Trump's tariff threat.
BRICS is recognized as an important platform for cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that BRICS advocates openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, not confrontation.
Trump threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on countries aligning with what he described as the 'anti-American policies' of the BRICS grouping.
