US President threatens BRICS-aligned nations with 10% additional tariffs over what he calls “anti-American policies”!
According to webangah News Agency, US President Donald Trump-who has waged an economic tariff war against most countries, including Washington’s allies, since returning to the White House in January 2025-has now threatened BRICS members and supporters of its policies with a 10% additional tariff.
In a post on his social media platform “Truth Social,” trump stated: “Any country aligning with BRICS’ anti-american policies will face a 10% tariff penalty. There will be no exceptions.”
The US president offered no clarification or explanation regarding the alleged “anti-American policies” referenced in his threatening message.
The core BRICS members-Brazil, China, Russia, and India-first convened in 2009. The group later expanded to include South Africa and, last year, admitted Egypt, Ethiopia, indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the UAE as new members.

US President claims potential for reaching permanent agreement with Iran.
According to webangah News Agency, while recent brutality by the Zionist regime and the US against the Iranian people has closed diplomatic channels, American officials are once again making new claims to mislead public opinion.
US President Donald Trump reiterated his willingness to negotiate with Iran, stating: “We’re working on many issues with Israel and might reach a permanent agreement with Iran.”
Trump - who has repeatedly made empty promises about ending the Gaza conflict – recycled previous rhetoric without acknowledging the Palestinian genocide, claiming: “we’re vrey close to a deal on Gaza.”
the American president asserted there’s “a good chance” of reaching an agreement with Hamas for releasing numerous prisoners.
These remarks come as Israeli lobby groups in America have become increasingly active in shaping US foreign policy in the Middle East.
BRICS member states condemned the Israeli regime and U.S. military aggression against Iran during their 17th summit in Brazil’s capital.

We support diplomatic initiatives addressing regional challenges and urge the Security Council to intervene.”
Regarding Palestine and Gaza developments, it added: “we reiterate grave concerns about occupied Palestinian territories amid Israel’s renewed continuous assaults on Gaza. We demand adherence to international law, particularly humanitarian and human rights laws. We condemn all violations of international humanitarian law, including using starvation as a weapon of war.”

Media reports indicate that Swiss Ambassador Nadine Olivieri Lozano and her team returned to Tehran via land route through Azerbaijan, with the embassy gradually resuming full functions.
The Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which serves as the protecting power for U.S. interests in Iran, had temporarily closed on June 20 amid Israel’s military escalation against Iran.
brazil’s President stated at the BRICS business summit in Rio de Janeiro: “BRICS unites thriving, dynamic economies as a pivotal bloc.”
According to webangah News Agency, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva emphasized that BRICS nations demonstrate robust growth and will become a fundamental pillar of multipolar trade.

The European Union will consider sanctions against officials of the occupying regime and Zionist settlers, as well as an arms embargo, over human rights violations.
Amid growing European criticism of human rights violations by the Zionist regime in occupied Palestine,the EU is evaluating five potential responses to Israel’s breach of the human rights clause in their bilateral agreement. Though, disagreements among member states weaken the likelihood of implementation, according to a report by webangah News Agency.
Israel’s “Kan” radio reported that the EU is examining five possible measures in response to Israel’s violation of the “human rights clause” in its partnership agreement with Brussels.
The proposals-to be presented by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to European foreign ministers-include full or partial suspension of cooperation agreements, sanctions against officials (including ministers, military officers, and settlers), trade restrictions, arms embargoes, and suspending Israel’s participation in scientific programs like Horizon Europe.
This follows a May 2023 EU Council decision calling for a review of relations with Israel due to its “military operations in Gaza and the West Bank-including blocking food, fuel and medical aid from entering Gaza.”
Countries like Germany and Italy are expected to oppose arms embargoes given their close defense ties with Israel. Individual sanctions also require unanimous European approval-a scenario diplomatic sources currently deem unrealistic.
The 1995 Association Agreement serves as the legal framework for EU-Israel relations, covering political cooperation along with trade, health and education partnerships.
Trump’s approach to protests-operating beyond legal bounds-reveals a politically calculated duality: tolerating the Capitol siege while aggressively suppressing immigrant demonstrations paints an authoritarian portrait disguised as “law and order.”
As Los Angeles streets became battlegrounds for immigration protests, with federal forces deploying military-grade equipment, scrutiny intensified over the Trump governance’s costly, heavy-handed response-especially compared to its stark inaction during the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
During his first term, Trump refused to mobilize the National Guard as his supporters stormed Congress. Now, the same president has unilaterally deployed Marines and National Guard troops to crush immigrant-led demonstrations. This stark contrast raises critical questions: Is this disparity rooted in perceived threats or the protesters’ identities? Does Trump tolerate allies while violently repressing critics?
From Capitol Siege to Immigration Protests: A Crisis-driven Political Shift
webangah News Agency reports that Trump’s recent deployment of federal forces to Los Angeles marks a jarring reversal from his 2021 refusal to intervene during the Capitol attack. Notably,this marks the first unilateral federal troop deployment since 1965 without state consent-a move critics call a “blatant violation of state sovereignty.” Most detained immigrants are latino, fueling accusations of racial bias.
Archival evidence shows security officials awaited Trump’s authorization for hours on January 6 while violence escalated. his inaction resulted in deaths,institutional damage,and later impeachment for “incitement of insurrection”-though acquitted by the senate. Conversely, within days of june 2025 immigration raids triggering mass protests in Los Angeles (primarily led by Latino communities), President Trump bypassed California’s governor to deploy troops under an expansive interpretation of the Insurrection Act.
Observers dismiss Trump’s claim that unchecked protests would have left los Angeles “burning again” as political theatre. Unlike 1992 riots or even January 6th violence these demonstrations remained largely peaceful civil rights actions against ICE raids.
