Waiting for the start of his presidential term in the United States Donald Trump does not take kindly to the efforts of the BRICS countries.
Trump downloads social service at Truth Social in its own colorful style for a group focused on economic cooperation made up of Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa.
– The efforts of the BRICS countries to break away from the dollar while we watch from the side are OVER, Trump writes.
According to Trump, the United States will require the BRICS countries to commit to not “creating a new BRICS currency or supporting any other currency to replace the mighty US dollar.”
However, if the BRICS countries act this way, Trump promises to impose “100 percent import tariffs” on each BRICS country and that they will thus have to “say goodbye to the great US economy”.
– They can look for someone else to feather! There is no chance that BRICS will replace the dollar in international trade, and any country that tries to do so will have to wave goodbye to America, Trump writes.
In particular, China and the BRICS founding country Russia have wanted to present the group as an alternative to the United States and the G7 group. Although the BRICS countries have at least conceptually discussed withdrawing from dollar-based trading, experts have considered the member countries far too contentious to attempt this seriously.
