U.S. tariffs may heighten risks and boost Global South solidarity

00:47

Political commentator Johannes Myburgh speaks of the long-term risk of tariffs for the United States. Such moves are bound to hurt the country's diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, Myburgh says. BRICS countries and other nations are coalescing behind a growing "distrust of the West," he adds. Tariffs are seen by the Global South as proof that the Global North's declarations about democracy and fairness are meaningless, Myburgh goes on, and that they're "in it for themselves."
