BRICS is not an “anti-American organization,” Russian President’s Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing.
“That’s not true. I repeat it again: BRICS as a formation is an association, it’s not even an organization, because there are no signs of an institutional formation,” he stressed.
Peskov added that BRICS is an association of countries sharing common interests and a vision of mutual cooperation.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that Washington would impose duties of 10% on the BRICS member countries. After this appeal, he claimed that the association had begun to “quickly fade away.”
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov noted that Moscow did not see anything new in Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on the BRICS countries.
