The Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Zakharova, in a recent press conference, slammed the U.S. for threatening to impose additional tariffs on countries that support the “anti-U.S. policy” of BRICS.
Under the pretext of protecting its self-proclaimed fair competition and national security, the U.S. is attempting to put political pressure on the countries in question using illegal sanctions and tariffs as tools of economy and trade, she said. This approach is not only detrimental to the existing international economic cooperation framework but is also a serious violation of the WTO rules and the principles governing free trade, added the spokeswoman.
Saying that hiking up tariffs will put every country at risk and trigger a worldwide economic stagnation, she urged the U.S. to first find a solution to its own internal crisis.
