Trump threatens 100% tariffs on BRICS nations over US dollar replacement plans

And no, I obviously don't consider South Korea and Japan to be Chinese client states.

Good. For correcting yourself.

You seem to have serious issues with comprehension ability. I didn't correct anything I had said earlier. I only repeated it. It was you who, for some reason, thought that Japan and South Korea are in South East Asia.

Maybe my ADHD or lack of education.

That is something about which you would be far better informed than I am.

Given that you MAGA's live in the information cocoon constituted by FOX and other media outlets, I'll kindly tell you that the day before yesterday the Vietnamese government denied that it had reached a trade deal with Trump. A Vietnamese government statement said that Vietnam and the United States have only tentatively finalized the framework for negotiations and are still far from reaching an agreement. U.S. Full of lies, the credit of the US government is now worse than the Indians.

Trump hasn't accomplished a single trade deal so far, except for a temporary truce with China. Even America's allies, the EU, Japan, South Korea, India, etc. have rejected America's trade deals.

I must have missed something. You mean GlobalTimes, which is considered to be a mouthpiece of the CCP, was royally duped by FOX news too? Unless GlobalTimes' definition of "agreement" means something else short of a "signed deal".

Trade deal should not target third party or harm its interests: FM, MOFCOM respond to US-Vietnam trade deal - Global Times

www.globaltimes.cn

"China's Foreign Ministry and Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) on Thursday responded to the trade agreement reached between the US and Vietnam, stressing that negotiations and agreements should not harm third parties, while opposing any party reaching agreements at the expense of China's interests."

It's supposed to be all the media that's being punked by Trump.

But then GlobalTimes would have retracted the article after verifying the news was fake like they have done countless times in the past. Why is the article still up on the web for all to see and especially still listed in the economy section?

Global Times is China's FOX.


The terms Trump is talking about are the terms he offered the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese government didn't agree to those terms, they just set the framework for negotiations, they hadn't started them yet. Then Trump went straight to X and declared he had won. Just like that. Major media outlets around the world believed Trump and released the way the US and Vietnam reached trade talks. Finally the Vietnamese government came out and clarified that they had just finalized the framework for negotiations and hadn't started talking yet ......

its a bit complicated. it’s both: agreement and framework. the official draft Donald Trump and To Lam have signed off according to Vietnamese government is

“Joint Việt Nam–United States Statement on a Fair, Balanced, and Reciprocal Trade Agreement Framework”

Latest Trump tariffs on more countries. Apparently, being a loyal lapdog of the the US and anti-China are not enough for Filipin to be spared of the hefty penalty. Brazil is the big loser for bashing US tariffs, and being defiant to Trump in hosting the recent BRICS + summit.



25% Brunei,

30% Iraq,

30% Libya,

25% Moldova,

20% Philippines,

Phillipines got the same rate as Vietnam without having to make any extra concessions. It is the relative rate that matters. So far, Vietnam and the Phillipines have a competitive advantage over all their peers.

Lol, the U.S. goods trade surplus with Brazil was $7.4 billion in 2024, a 31.9 percent increase ($1.8 billion) over 2023. What is Trump's logic ? He must be really irritated by Lula.

With Brazil , it is not about logic, but personal. Trump is just trying to protect his buddy Bolsonaro. Brazilians have to decide whether they want prosperity or Lula's socialism.

Brazil might impose same rate tariffs on US products. In the end, US might be the one ends losing more since it exports more to Brazil.
