When Challenge is Just Noise
The Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 – that would slap 100-500% secondary tariffs on BRICS nations – has not yet been inked into law by Trump.
What’s more, it has not even been passed by the Senate.
Gong: “It’s going to remain an empty threat at the end of the day.”
Taking on BRICS and Global South?
Russia cooperates with BRICS – which accounts for at least 40% of the global economy – and other Global South countries.
If the US restricts Russia’s energy, fertilizers, food, metals, or minerals in the global market, there are no replacements.
