RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – As the BRICS summit dey unfold for Brazil, President Donald Trump don drop bombshell announcement say if any country waka align demself with di ‘Anti-American policies’ wey BRICS dey carry, dem go face extra 10% tariff o! No be small matter! Dis one fit make even di palm wine flow for market stop (I no gree for dat one, though).
Dis new policy fit shake ground, as di BRICS leaders (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and even more folks join dey) dey gather to find how to boost multilateral talks amidst all di trade wahala and politics wey dey happen for di world right now. Talk say di tariffs fit threaten global trade as dem dey issue strong warnings to Trump and im ‘America First’ agenda (abi e no sabi say teamwork dey important?).
Wetin Trump yarn go be wetin e write for Truth Social, as e talk say: “Any Country aligning demself with di Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to dis policy.” Hmmm, e no too easy o! Na so we dey see as dem don already gather for dis summit early July 2025, with plenty leaders sit down dey discuss di future of global alliances.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva don yarn say BRICS na di heir to di Non-Aligned Movement wey no gree join either side during Cold War. As per im statement, e been mentioned say: “With multilateralism under attack, our autonomy dey on shakey ground again.” Una fit feel di tension wey dey build like hot jollof rice!
BRICS dey carry heavy weight now as e don represent more than half di world population and about 40% of global economic output. E be like say dem don dey grow reach di ranks of big boys for global politics and economy.
As di leaders gather for di summit, dem express serious concern over di rise in tariffs, calling am “unjustified unilateral protectionist measures.” Dem dey look to make moves wey go improve di global economy without dis wahala wey tariffs dey bring.
Toh, di discussion no go complete without China and di UAE wey dey plan to invest in Tropical Forests Forever Facility! E be like say dis leaders no wan slow down for climate issues. Na so life be; dem go collect extra 10% tariff and still dey try protect di environment. Na wah!
So far, diplomat 101 continues as dem dey condemn military aggression against Iran while dey also consider solutions for conflict wey dey happen for di Middle East. Na so di BRICS leaders dey take di bull by di horns!
With dis new tariff announcement, e sure say wahala go join market conversation, as countries now dey wonder how dem go fit maneuver without losing touch with di global economy. We go keep our eye on di ball as di politics dey hot like pepper soup. We no wan miss am!
