Trump says nations aligning with BRICS' 'anti-American policies' will face additional 10% tariff
ISTANBUL: US President Donald Trump warned late Sunday (July 6) that any country that aligns itself "with the anti-American policies" of the BRICS economic bloc will face an additional 10% tariff, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. "There will be no exceptions to this policy," he wrote on his Truth Social platform. ALSO READ: BRICS nations voice 'serious concerns' over Trump tariffs In another post, he announced that US tariff letters and/or agreements with various countries across the world "will be delivered starting noon (Eastern) (1600GMT), Monday (July 7)." In late January, Trump said "there is no chance that BRICS (countries) will replace the US dollar in international trade, or anywhere else." "We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty US Dollar or, they will face 100% tariffs," he added. BRICS members have discussed shifting from the dollar in recent years, with discussions intensifying after the US imposed sanctions on Russia in 2022 following the start of its "special military operation' in Ukraine. Trump's statements Sunday came as leaders and representatives from BRICS are gathering in Rio de Janeiro for the group's 17th annual summit. - Bernama-Anadolu

Russia says it downs eight Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow
RUSSIAN air defence units shot down eight Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow late on Sunday, from a total of 90 overnight over Russian territory, the Black Sea and the Crimean peninsula, the defence ministry said. Most came down over regions near Ukraine, but three were also destroyed over the Leningrad area, home to Russia's second-largest city of St Petersburg, the ministry said on the Telegram messaging app on Monday. The ministry reports only the numbers of drones destroyed, not the numbers launched by Ukraine. Also, it does not report possible damage, but regional governors said the attacks caused no substantial damage. Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia reported temporary airport closures in the two cities and other regional centres, as well as delays to dozens of flights.
