The decision to block the "Trump tariffs" lasted only one day, but the fight has only just begun.

The Telegraph newspaper reported on July 8 that Trump's new duties against BRICS members would not have a strong impact on the Russian economy. It is also noted that their introduction will negate progress in reducing trade tensions between the United States and China.

On July 6, Trump announced that he plans to impose additional duties of 10% on countries that support the BRICS policy. He added that there would be no exceptions to this rule.
