💬 “We can never let anyone mess with us. That’s why, when we heard about this BRICS group — basically SIX countries — I hit them very hard. We have this little group called BRICS, which is disappearing quickly. But BRICS wanted to challenge the dollar, the dollar’s dominance, the dollar standard.

And I said: anyone in the BRICS bloc, we’ll slap a 10% tariff on you. They had a meeting the next day, and almost no one showed up. They didn’t want to be tariffed — it’s incredible,” Trump said.

POTUS Donald Trump made clear that his administration will hold accountable foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States.

Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes's political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a persecution and censorship complex so sweeping that it not only violates basic rights of Brazilians, but also extends beyond Brazil's shores to target Americans.

I have therefore ordered visa revocations for Moraes and his allies on the court, as well as their immediate family members effective immediately.
