US President Donald Trump rolls out more tariffs on Asian countries starting August 1. What could save them from the tariff trap?
Alternative and Leverage Needed
"[Asian] countries that have to pay heavy tariffs for exports to [the] US will need to find more alternative export destinations," French geopolitical analyst Come Carpentier de Gourdon tells Sputnik. "They will need leverage to negotiate with the US."
Want to Escape Tariff Trap? Ask BRICS How
Access BRICS+ market: $77T combined GDP of BRICS nations by PPP (2025) — 1.3 times that of the G7
BRICS+ has driven over 40% of global GDP growth
BRICS+ average growth is projected at 4% (2025) — more than double the G7’s 1.7%
Collective Bargaining Power
11 members and 10 partners, who dominate key global markets, including energy, metals, and food
BRICS+ countries produce about 32% of the world’s gas and 43% of crude oil = energy independence

Dollar Hegemony is Key to US Power
Trump’s tariff threats signal panic over losing dollar dominance.

Meanwhile, BRICS is accelerating gold reserves & forming new financial institutions
No More Sticks and Blackmailing
BRICS+'s self-sustainable market & financial mechanisms mean:
Immunity to US sanctions & tariff blackmailing
No inflation plague exported by the US
No "Big Brother" control and market interference
Global South Solidarity
Trump’s tariffs are a last stand against a multipolar world.
