The Kremlin said on Wednesday that the BRICS group of nations has never targeted third countries or their currencies, rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that the bloc was designed to undermine the dollar.

Trump on Tuesday described BRICS as "an attack on the dollar" and spoke of his threat to impose tariffs on its members.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that BRICS was a grouping of nations united by a shared vision of cooperation and prosperity.
