The director of the BRICS Policy Center/PUC-Rio, Marta Fernández, published an article in The Conversation Brasil titled: “The folly of the shooter who killed four in New York is a metaphor for Trump’s tariff ‘shots.'”

In the article, the researcher uses the metaphor of the attack in Manhattan to reflect on Donald Trump’s tariff policy, characterized by impulsive and destructive actions. “From his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump fires tariffs like someone wielding an economic machine gun,” she writes. For her, these unilateral measures function as instruments of geopolitical coercion, eroding the multilateral trading system.
